Publisher's summary

“You are more than just a pill counter.” (Alex Barker, PharmD)

Are you trapped in your pharmacy job? Feeling burned out, like you can’t handle another day of work? Fearfully imagining working at your job for another 20 years? Worried about a lack of career options in pharmacy? Feeling absolutely powerless to do anything about it? Fed up with the stress your career is causing you?

If so, this book is your prescription to:

  • Learn the step-by-step method to creating an Indispensable career.
  • Quickly transition into a new, fulfilling job and out of your old miserable one.
  • Chart a path full of opportunities by unleashing your secret strengths.
  • Become the Indispensable pharmacist the best companies fight over.

Indispensable is your guide to creating confidence in a career path full of exciting opportunities. One with less anxiety, stress, and burnout from your work. It is the secret to a fulfilling and Indispensable career where you don't need to work so hard to find your next job. In this book, I share my story about how I created my Indispensable career from the shambles of a broken one, and how other pharmacists, even those with no prior experience, can do the same.

The book has the power to instill hope where there is little or none remaining.

If you are a pharmacist, and not fully content with your career, this book is for you.
If you are burntout of healthcare, pharmacy, and all things related, this book is for you.
If you daydream of retirement only to realize you still have ways to, this book is for you.
If you recently graduated and already wish you had chosen a different career path, this book is for you.
If you think you are perfectly happy with your career in pharmacy, well... chances are soon you won’t be (or you will meet many others who are not). So yes! This book is also for you!
I came across Alex Barker’s name and Indispensable by mere accident a few months ago and boy am I glad I did! From the first page I was hooked. Listening to this audiobook I laughed, got teary eyes, and even found myself talking out loud to no one!
It’s one of those books that I wish I had bought the print version, so that I could have highlighted all that resonated with me (pretty much the whole book).

I highly recommend it to every pharmacist out there.
It will brighten your day, and your week. It may also even change your life for the better!

Great read for pharmacists and non-pharmacists alike!

Much like the author, I’m a self-proclaimed “bad pharmacist”. I wish I had read this book before I left the profession - it could have (maybe, possibly) changed my mind. Then again, maybe not - but at least I would have know I wasn’t alone in my frustrations!

Told with humor and empathy, this is a book for anyone at a professional or personal crossroads in their life. A thoroughly enjoyable read!
