“Mandy Tang’s writing style turns a topic that could be a challenging read into an approachable how-to guide. Reading through Tang’s book feels like sitting with her in a one-on-one coaching session. Insightful observations, thought-provoking questions, guidance for improved thinking pathways, and step-by-step solutions — all the answers you need are in the palm of your hand.”

“Heal Your Career Wounds is the kind of book every person should read, whether you are someone already deeply connected to your intuition and creativity or whether your life feels set in its ways. As Mandy Tang says in the introduction, work is usually not just a job (even if we tell ourselves it is). It has the potential to shape who we are and how we see ourselves in the world. Reading this book is the perfect, safe first step to embark on the work of disconnecting our self-image and self-worth from our careers. It’s really hard and painful work, but Heal Your Career Wounds feels like a warm hug followed by a little nudge: Tang knows how hard this work is but also how much better we can feel if we walk down this path. I’ve been on a very similar journey to Tang’s, having quit my full-time job a few years ago and spent the time since confronting all my stories, fears, and beliefs that built up through my various work traumas. I wish this book had existed when I first started on that journey, but I am so grateful it exists now! Many, many people will benefit from reading it.”
