This book was written in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Marshall Goldsmith, one of the most respected business consultants in the world, describes how to get out of a situation where the usual paths to success do not work — and when you have to adjust your ideas about work, reputation, your professional creed … and your “mojo”. This mysterious word comes from the magical beliefs of African Americans — this was the name of a talisman, a bag with a magical object or conspiracy. In modern American English, “mojo” is also charisma: self-confidence, luck, talent, attractiveness, the ability to present oneself. Goldsmith expanded the meaning of this word: his mojo is also love for his work, the ability to be in the flow, the feeling that you are exactly where you would like to be. Therefore, «mojo» happens to each of us — if we are truly passionate about what we are doing. It is not necessary to be in a crisis to draw fresh ideas from this unusual business textbook with a philosophical bent — not only for businessmen, but for everyone who is concerned about personal growth, self-realization, self-discovery and the meaning of life.
