some of the books that have made the list here have sparked my interest; I ordered them from the library and just received the confirmation emails that they are in so in the morning I’ll pick them up.
(I think this goal is starting to have the desired effect)

What ? ?
The reason is simple, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, and in the seismic shifts transforming the culture these past few months there are some among us who either have, will be, or are afraid of being fired. While the door may be hitting you in the butt really hard, remember that the door did open, make it a chance to start anew.
In “We Got Hired and You Can Too!” Every one of Mackay’s interviews with the now famously successful (Michael Bloomberg, Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Jessie Ventura, Bernie Marcus, etc.) ends with the subject richer for the experience of having been fired—both literally and figuratively.
Who knows, all the uncertainty of the past few months may even put you in the postion of reconsidering your career path, (so you “fire” yourself and start something else!).
