10 must-read books on careers to pursue your passion in 2021

If 2020 taught us anything, it was that resolutions are futile as far as the future is concerned. It’s one thing to commit to a goal, but when the circumstances that make achieving such a goal shift with a seismic significance you could measure on the Richter scale, one can only hold on and hope for the best. Not surprisingly, if the career aspirations you had at the beginning of last year had fallen by the wayside come March, you’re not alone. Most of us saw our professional lives upended by a global pandemic that cared little for our New Year’s resolutions. Suddenly, we were trading an office space for a makeshift desk in the living room and having to navigate all the pitfalls that come with working remotely – noisy housemates, lagging Wi-Fi, and instant coffee to replace that barista-quality communal coffee machine.
