“Be who you really are and go the whole way”.

In 600 B.C., I think what Lao Tzu was getting at when he wrote that sentence was something like

  • Get comfortable in your own skin
  • Embrace all of your life including the muck, the mundane and the beauty
  • Once you learn to know and love yourself, both your superpowers and your imperfections, then stand up, be counted, and say, “This is ME”

At age 47, after prioritizing my heart, body, mind, and soul for the past decade, I’ve gone the whole way in writing my new book, Fire Your Boss: Discover Work You Love Without Quitting Your Job. It’s about making a ruckus at work-and in your life, getting out of your way, and being more human. Wholehearted. Courageous. Bold. Alive.

About the Book

Fire Your Boss is the disruptive alternative blueprint for charting a new life-giving career path that gives you control, allowing you to set your own rules for your work life. Provocative, liberating, and universally appealing, Fire Your Boss seeks to help readers resolve the deepest root of workplace unrest—namely, fear and self-preservation.

This book upgrades readers’ core belief systems, demonstrates how to liberate their careers forever, and ultimately, join a heretical uprising without becoming an entrepreneur, changing jobs, or simply white-knuckling their way to retirement.

Aaron McHugh maps out how to make philosophical, emotional, tactical, and heart-centered shifts at every intersection on the career journey. Firing your boss does not require you to leave to your job. Firing your boss does not require you to start a new business. Firing your boss becomes the life-altering daily mantra that transforms the disengaged into hopeful leaders.

Discover how to plot a new course of career freedom and independence, empowerment, and self-reliance. Find your smile again, rekindle your mojo, recapture the art of your work, and start enjoying your work every single day.

NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST

I wish I’d had Fire Your Boss when I was 40. I would have devoured it line by line, word by word. And then, alone, I would have screamed at the top of my lungs “But where’s the answer!” It’s there dear reader, I promise.

What Readers Are Saying

  • This book gave me many fresh prospectives and insights that totally changed the way in which I show up at work. I feel more in charge of my own happiness and satisfaction, more grounded, and am in the same job!
    Ryan
  • It’s so much more than just a career book. McHugh shows up as the guide we’ve all been looking for, sharing stories from his life and others, to help us navigate the way from stuck to unstuck, enslaved to free.
    Jonathan
  • I really enjoyed this book. Beyond just helpful practical advice (which it does have), the book offers a different way to look at the life you have now. This is one I will refer back to regularly.
    David
  • Aaron puts words to things inside me that I couldn’t explain. His perspective rings true and I wish I heard it years ago! Knowing that I sign an unwritten contract every time I collect a pay check is a game changer. Thank you!
    Jamille
  • I appreciate the practical ways I can use the tools laid out in a practical manner. I also appreciate Aaron’s writing style and desire to bring life to honest observations about work. A gem!
    Paul
  • I found the book insightful, full of thoughtful examples and in digestible chunks. The portion on blaming others was particularly helpful and challenging. I highly recommend for those looking to approach their work differently.
