Q&A with Joanna Penn:
Author of “How To Enjoy Your Job”

What will people get out of the book? Why would they want to buy it?
The book is designed to give people the tools and the motivation to improve their working life and
make some of those changes now. If people are unhappy in their jobs, then this book will give
them ideas and inspiration for how to alter the situation.
There are diagrams that simplify and explain how to achieve job success and career change. The
chapters are concise and to the point and include tips and specific strategies for each area. There
are personal examples from my own and other people’s experience within large and small busi-
nesses across Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
People can also “try before they buy” by downloading the free workbook that includes Chapter 1
of the book from the website http://www.HowToEnjoyYourJob.com. The workbook contains easy
-to-use visual diagrams and process flows, selected tips from the full length book, copies of key
diagrams, and targeted questions for specific areas of improvement. In the book itself, people can
choose the chapters they want to read as each one is aimed at a work problem so it is targeted at
their situation.
So people should get excellent value for money from the book, or they can even just use the
workbook for free. The focus is on empowering people to make the change they have wanted to
make for a long time. If you are miserable in your job, you will know what I am talking about!
