People often take a long time to “get into their groove” because they need to find that sweet spot where they love their work, it makes them a living, and yet it does not feel arduous – both the journey as well as the destination thus becoming key. This book by Rohit – who I have known for well over two decades for being very thoughtful while at the same time witty – makes this effort within reach. Action oriented with a fresh perspective, the book provides that essential push you need to change ‘your orbit’. Pick it up!

The book offers unique insight, combining both spiritual and corporate perspectives on progression and achieving ones goals. The author shares personal experience to highlight practical steps that can be taken to direction in life using values and purpose to define a new path. Well written and structured so it is accessible to all levels of professionals, the author has managed to produce something insightful that is very much ‘of its time’.

Values and ethics continue to remain key differentiators amongst those creating a legacy. The 5 steps to get into the “Goldilocks Zone” can prove to be the best mantra to make the best of one’s life. My most favourite pick out of the five would be “principles”. These truly define who you are. I believe this book is relevant as a map. This book hits all the most important aspects that are required to achieve a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and contentment from a fulfilling career.

The Goldilocks zone is a life plan, a strategy for living your best life starting now. Rohit Chowdhry has taken the concept into an in depth exploration of how it can work for each one of us. The worksheets and exercises have been particularly helpful and I recommend you try answering some of the questions they raise. You will surprise yourself.
