It drives our behavior, forms our tastes, determines what we buy, and ultimately shapes who we are. It’s what’s behind “cool” and what drives fashion, music, food, sports, slang, travel, hairstyles, and dog breeds—and even the outsize influence of unpopular things with the “right” audience.

Bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world.

Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.

The Self You Build is not a motivational pep talk. It’s a deeply reflective exploration of how identity is formed—not through revelation or vision boards—but through small, repeatable acts in the middle of ordinary days. Drawing stylistic influence from David Foster Wallace, this book questions nearly every assumption baked into modern self-help: that success is measurable, that routines need optimizing, that transformation should feel triumphant. Instead, it suggests that the person you become is forged in unglamorous moments—when no one’s watching, when you’re tired, when the ...
