The Long Game challenges conventional notions about career success. Instead, it offers a different path: one that doesn’t depend on quarterly goals and yearly promotions. It is based upon patience and developing relationships with colleagues. 

Peppercorn said that Clark’s book was a valuable antidote for a world that offers short-term thinking and immediate gratification. It gives you the ability to think ahead and stop to reflect. 

She suggests it as a good read for anyone who isn’t sure what career to take or feels disconnected from their current jobs.

How can you live your best life? Gassner Otting’s “Limitless” teaches readers how to align your values and dreams with your work. 

“This book is not your typical career book – Laura is a rule breaker!” Peppercorn agrees. Gassner Otting says that she doesn’t just focus on finding your purpose and happiness. But what Gassner Otting calls your “consonance”. That is, the “what” or “how” you do each day at work or home which aligns deeply with who you truly are when you feel your greatest.

Peppercorn explained that the harmony between our what’ and who’ can be fleeting as we don’t actively build a life in alignment with it. Peppercorn explains that “Limitless” is a roadmap for finding your consonance, and then living in accordance with it.
