Careering Off Course is a darkly funny career memoir about corporate misfires, failed side hustles, and the quiet drift that keeps intelligent people stuck.
Across office jobs, near-miss business ventures, and entrepreneurial experiments that almost worked, Andy Laker explores how ambition slowly gives way to comfort — and how activity can be mistaken for progress.
This isn’t a story of spectacular collapse. It’s about something far more familiar:
staying busy, chasing income over clarity, starting strongly and fading in the middle, and convincing yourself you’ll ‘sort it out later’.
Blending humour with behavioural insight, Careering Off Course examines modern work culture and the subtle patterns that cause careers to stall without anyone noticing.
If you’ve ever felt busy but not advancing, optimistic but directionless, or successful enough not to change — this book will feel uncomfortably recognisable.

UK shipping £3.49 per order – free on orders over £20.
