Connecting the Dots: Uncovering the Power of Your Wanderings
This is what I call the soul searching piece of the book. Brooks
challenges readers to create a web of significant things that you
have done and things that are of interest to you. When you have
completed this task, she has you put them into categories and
identify the themes. This is a wandering map. I found this exercise
useful, even though it is very simple. How many people actually
take the time to complete this exercise? The idea is to find the
career that you didn’t know you took an interest in, but was right
under your nose!
Most of us spend our time spread across a lot of activities, many
of which seemingly have little connection to each other. We don’t
spend all of our time focused on one single area. We’re engaged in
our professional area or our studies, but we’re also involved in
community projects, various social groups, hobbies, and countless
other things. Quite often, though, these things that we spend our
time on have some deep underlying patterns that actually do connect
them together. The career we should end up with should be one that
taps deeply into those underlying patterns.
