Description: "We designed this book to appeal to a wide audience, including counselors-in-training, novice career counselors, seasoned career professionals, career explorers, helping professionals, and anyone who is learning about careers, career development, and career exploration across the lifespan. One of the key hallmarks in the counseling profession is "know thyself," and in this book, we strike a balance of empirically based research and personal reflection prompts inviting you to deeper levels of self-awareness and exploration. Regardless of your rationale for selecting the book, we hope that you will gain clarity and a deeper understanding of who you are in relationship to the world around you. We invite you to immerse yourself in the exercises, activities, and intentional reflection questions. By doing so, you will support your own personal growth, and also learn ways to make the connection as you translate the skills into professional practice with your current and/or future clients"--
