Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Pivoting with Purpose
Melisa Meral · 2020
68/100
👎 Skip It
Melisa Meral's Fortune 500 HR background is the real asset here — the values-clarification exercises feel grounded in actual workplace observation rather than motivational-poster wisdom. The Amazon bestseller spike is encouraging but tells us more about launch marketing than lasting impact, and without meaningful third-party review coverage the long-term verdict is unclear. A useful working guide for millennial mid-career professionals, less relevant to anyone outside that demographic.
