Book Reviews of Fired Up: How To Win When You Lose Your Job
Book Review: Fired Up
Summary: 5 Stars
In these tough economic times, many people are losing their jobs... or worried that they might. In his new book Fired Up, Wil LaVeist encourages us to have no fear!
Fired Up is a self-help book that reads like a novel- or two. In it, LaVeist tells us his story of being fired from a company that prides itself on being a quality, family-run and family values company, and how he overcame not only the financial crisis that ensued but also the feelings of betrayal. In telling us his story, LaVeist also recounts of the story of the biblical Joseph, who experienced a similar firing from- and at the hands of- his own brothers, and how God lifted him to greatness.
In this book, LaVeist brilliantly reminds us that what man may mean as evil against us, "God meant it for good," and he gives readers real, practical advice on how to survive and thrive after being terminated. It's a true must-read for employees and employers alike.
Summary of Fired Up: How To Win When You Lose Your Job
Losing a job can create a major crisis. To attend work one morning only to be blindsided by a firing in the afternoon can be painful like losing a loved one. This is because in America what we do for a living is often intimately tied to who we are. When someone you meet asks, ?So, what do you do for living?? how do you answer? But like any other major crisis, being terminated can be the defining moment that launches you to your true destiny. Fired Up is Wil LaVeist?s personal story in honest raw detail. He shares the four steps he took to cope and overcome his crisis.
