Within the pages of Four Steps to Your Authentic Career: How to Discover Your True Career Path, author Kareem Kamal El Gazzar makes career-related observations that will inspire those just entering the workforce. Converting passions to dreams and matching dreams to priorities aren't always easy tasks, but with the guidance provided here, readers will learn how to become authentic leaders who define success as "life and work that bring personal fulfillment and lasting relationsihps, while also making a difference". By singling out the three different attitudes people have toward their careers and naming them the "Road", the "Horse", and the "Cart", El Gazzar explores those who thrive in a career filled with the exhilaration and excitement of action, those who find enjoyment by simply doing their work, and those most interested in what is being carried by one's work, such as values or character. Great careers have a point of view and are not just a job—we need to believe in something.

Kareem Kamal El Gazzar is a writer and aspiring animation producer from Cairo. As a scriptwriter, he writes classical animation scripts and stories for both children and adults, while aiming to one day produce his own short and feature animated films under the name Kairotoons. After receiving as a teenager a diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, he set off on a path toward authenticity. A later diagnosis of a specific type of psychosis pushed him to discover himself and who he wanted to be. What he learned was that he was inclined toward arts and humanities, and thus discovered his love of writing, animation, and philosophy.
