Publisher's summary

The get ready, get going guide to navigating career change and doing work you love!

New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff has drawn millions of online fans who love his refreshing mix of humor, honesty, and wisdom about the world of work. Now he offers his most important audiobook yet, a guide to making big career changes - by choice or necessity - and escaping the horrible feeling of being trapped in the wrong job.

Acuff finds it amazing that people spend more than 18 years studying and preparing for college but little or no time honing their careers between graduation and retirement. He offers an empowering tool he calls the Career Savings Account, which will change the way you think about your skills, relationships, character, and work ethic. He also shows that if you're on the wrong track, you already have what you need to change it - even if your family and mortgage mean you can't simply pick up and move for a new opportunity.

Throughout the book, Acuff features inspiring and funny true stories - not merely his own but those of friends who restarted their careers after a layoff, an extended maternity leave, or simply the realization that they were suffering 50 weeks a year just to pay the bills and enjoy two weeks of vacation. Everyone can benefit from Do Over, from new graduates to 50-somethings and beyond.

Game changer

a game changer for anyone who has ever lost a job change jobs or like me is starting a new company from scratch!

This book creeps back into my life at the right times

The first time I came across this audiobook was when I was contemplating a career change (which ended up becoming a mandatory career change after being let go). The information and execution in this book gave me inspiration and a better understanding of what it would take me to do my own “Do Over”. Currently, I am doing another “Do Over” and have re-listened to the entire audiobook to help refresh my knowledge and give me that push again.

Highly recommend for those who, like me, are hitting a career ceiling or in need to change jobs/careers.

The perfect way to better yourself.

Jon Acuff is a brilliant writer and an even better narrator. Every joke is delivered perfectly and had me entertained at every turn. The content barely even applies to me as I am happy at my job, find fulfillment out of it, and have only up to go. Yet, I still am building a career savings account and listening to the great words of wisdom given by Mr. Acuff. I feel like Jon and I could be great friends just by listening to him speak, this is how I wish all these kinds of books were written. 5/5 highly recommend.

the entire series is good

Although not necessarily in full do over mode, got lots of good ideas and key points from this book. I also enjoy his humor and relatability. Great read.

not for me

I just couldn't get into it, mind kept wandering. after about 5 minutes I gave up.

Just do it!

love the inspiration behind your story.
nothing but inspiring! the book help remove fear out of my vocabulary and encourages me to just do it !Go for it! I can I am ,what I say I am I will do what I say I would do and I'm doing it today!

Jon Acuff hits the mark.

great book. everyone should listen to it whether you are thinking about changing jobs or not

With an open Hand and an open mind.

If you are someone that likes to grow and learn, the concepts in this book will help you on your journey to discover things that you didn't know you didn't know.

Love Jon and his book.

Jon's books (and his reading of them) are always a kick, and this one is no exception. Good content and good presentation of that content.

Encouraging, Interesting and Easy Listening

I enjoyed that the author narrated his own book. I feel a story resonates better when told in first person and is the authentic person. I liked the info and would listen again. I felt the listening flowed pretty easily. I like how Jon asks you to check back in with him after you apply the principals and report your successes!
