Professional distress

Vocation-related anxiety originated approximately 3.5 billion years ago. Typically, this type of anxiety strikes around the age of 16 and begins to subside at 66, moments before the flight to Las Palmas departs.

It can be distressing when you don't know which school to apply to, or when you graduate with a profession you're unsure is right for you. Anxiety sets in if you're not in a job that feels good or that you're capable of doing. And it's even more distressing if you don't know what you're good at or what you want.

Suvi Tuomikoski has worked in about 40 different job roles throughout her life. Alongside this, she has earned a Master's degree in Educational Sciences and sought answers to questions such as, why do we occasionally experience professional anxiety? What all influences it? Where does anxiety begin and where does it end?

In this book, she provides a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing these issues, hoping the work brings comfort, joy, and shared experiences. She also makes it clear why it's good not to always know.
