The Chaos Theory of Careers: A New Perspective on Working in the Twenty-First Century

The Chaos Theory of Careers: A New Perspective on Working in the Twenty-First Century

The Chaos Theory of Careers outlines the application of chaos theory to the field of career development. It draws together and extends the work that the authors have been doing over the last 8 to 10 years.

This textÂ represents a new perspective on the nature of career development. It emphasizes the dimensions of careers frequently neglected by contemporary accounts of careers such as the challenges and opportunities of uncertainty, the interconnectedness of current life and the potential for information overload, career wisdom as a response to unplanned change, new approaches to vocational assessment based on emergent thinking, the place of spirituality and the search for meaning and purpose in, with and through work, the integration of being and becoming as dimensions of career development.

ItÂ will be vital reading for all thoseÂ working inÂ andÂ studying career development, either at advanced undergraduate or postgraduate level andÂ provides a new and refreshing approach to this fast changing subject.

Key themes include:

Factors such as complexity, change, and contribution
People's aspirations in relation to work and personal fulfilment
Contemporary realities of career choice, career development and the working world
