In this episode, Ralph and I talk about how to choose the right career FOR YOU! We have a wide-ranging talk about practical ways to get on the right career path. I hope you find this useful! You can find more in his book using the details below. About me: Before I started writing Watson's Daily, I've been a stockbroker, headhunter and careers consultant and tested out a number of career paths (but not necessarily gone down all of them!). In one of the selections I went through, I even had a gun pointed to my head (and no, that wasn't for investment banking 🤣) and the longest single interview session I've been subject to was a 12 hour one at a well-known American investment bank! I've learned a lot and thought that my experiences could help you! For more info about Ralph, please scroll down.

In his first book, “Happiness Rules”, he turns his analytical mind to an examination of how we can build meaningful lives for ourselves. Readers have said that his study is a uniquely analytical yet very human approach to the question of happiness, that it is like a conversation with a friend, like Buddhism without the spirituality. Ralph holds qualifications in the humanities, business studies and actuarial mathematics. He is married and lives in London.
