PLAN B: Build the Career That Cannot Be Fired. A Survival Guide for Anyone Tired of Begging for Permission to Live
What if the real job security you’ve been searching for isn’t in a company, a promotion, or a resume… but in you?
In this sharp, funny, painfully honest book, Sam Choo tears apart the myth of the “safe career” and shows you why the modern workplace is a fragile house of cards… and why your best protection is not loyalty, hard work, or obedience, but independence.
After being fired three times in his 50s, Sam discovered a truth most people learn too late: you don’t lose your freedom when you lose a job—you lose it when you’ve built a life that depends on someone else’s approval.
You Are Plan B is a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt anxious, trapped, underpaid, overlooked, overwhelmed, or one bad meeting away from disaster.
Sam reveals:
• Why companies love you… until the day they don’t
• How to become unfireable without becoming unlikable
• The one skill that can pay for everything
• How to earn your first $100 outside your job
• How introverts quietly outperform everyone
• How to mentally fire your boss without resigning
• Why ordinary people can build extraordinary, shockproof careers
This is not a book about quitting.
It is a book about reclaiming your power while staying exactly where you are—and then building optionality so strong that no boss, no economy, and no restructuring meeting can ever control your future again.
If you've ever feared losing your job, this book gives you a plan.
If you've ever dreamed of being free, this book gives you the courage.
If you've ever wondered what your life could look like without permission slips—this book gives you the roadmap.
Your job is not your security.
You are.
