Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work, and Never Get Stuck

I enjoy Acuff's books, he has a realistic and fun perspective on career life. I can't wait to read his books in 10 years, they are only getting better. Because he is a young writer, I often times feel as though I am in a similar stage as him. This helps me connect, but also helps me seek out guidance from "old timers" as well. Seeking wisdom from multiple counsellors is important. I will always seek wisdom from Acuff.

I've become a big Jon Acuff fan and just listened to Do Over for the second time. It's timely - I graduate today with a Bachelor's degree at age 51. I look forward to the most recent "Do Over" in my life and I'll be referring to Acuff's book as I do.

I have a job that I enjoy but feel stuck..missing the "meaning" and connection to it. I'm in the process of exploring other opportunities and didn't realize I was in the midst of a do over. Thank you John Acuff for giving me some tools to maneuver through this and for offering stories that make it okay to contemplate a do over at 47!

I was so excited to listen to Jon's new book! I loved "Quitter" and "Start" so I was so excited when he came out with "Do Over" Listening to him read it really helps convey his message too, he has so much great advice! Definitely check to out if you need to get unstuck :)

Jon has a nice delivery and interesting perspectives on core self-development concepts. This is a guy who was going through his own "do over" while writing this book, so it's fresh and real, not a revisionist version of something that happened long ago. Because of this, you can actually see how this advice works.

The exercises he gives are excellent and worth doing, even if you're not in a career transition.

It's a solid book that you'll review again and again when going through transitions in your life.

Having read Jon's two other books I was excited to read this one. So excited that I grabbed the book on Audible while my copy makes its way through the mail.

My greatest takeaway from this book was how to build character in the work you do. The book focuses on the many ways to make your work life better and get you ready for success in future work. Really though, this seems to all be done through a series of character deposits into your career savings account (a nifty term from the book). Since character can be so nebulous, the author describes ways you can figure out what you need to work on, how you can build up those areas, and who can help you with both tasks.

On this first listen I didn't stop to do the tasks, as I was already multitasking by listening to this book. However, it did leave me with questions to mull over between listening sessions that will make the tasks easier to do with the second read.

I highly recommend picking up the Audiobook as Jon really brings his own passion on the subject in the reading. Several times he goes off script for a small, but interesting or funny aside. I find myself going back to his Audiobooks just to make a bad day a little better or to motivate me to finish a task I've been dreading. I really hope you'll give him a chance on your trek trough the self help section.

The book is well worth the read. It felt like everything the other said spoke to my situation. I didn't do the exercises the first time through, but I certainly will when I listen to this again. real soon.

I loved this book! I love that Jon Acuff actually read it. It was so easy to listen to and I NEVER got bored. He has so much wisdom and good stuff to share. I found myself making bookmarks constantly.
I would recommend this book to everyone. Absolutely everyone.

Yes. It came at a time in my life where I am making some big changes, and it was helpful and inspiring. I could easily see myself listening to it again at another phase of transition.

I've listened to one of Jon Acuff's other books before. As best I can recall, this one was a lot better. That isn't a critique of the previous book (START), but in this audiobook he treated it as a unique medium. He didn't just read the book, he talked to the listener and made some adjustments were appropriate and helpful.

Sort of...but probably in the wrong way. I'm familiar with a lot of Acuff's work and I've heard him speak live a number of times before. Therefore, most of the content didn't surprise me. <br/><br/>What I strongly appreciated was his frequent commentary on his time with Dave Ramsey. His sudden departure from Dave Ramsey's team shortly after releasing the book START (where he frequently called it his dream job), left me fairly confused. Given the close proximity of those two things, it was difficult to not view it with some cynical interpretations. This book gave some context which was helpful to understand what was going on.

very well done book, Jon is awesome, if it's legal I may burn all my other career books, either way I have a good lawyer.
