Praised by professionals across all levels of tenure and skill.

"This is a professional holy grail of a book that you neeeeed in your life. I've been recommending it to everyone I know. It has the best tips, not only for young professionals but anyone beginning a new career. I love the stream of thought and literal conversation scripts he includes that help you find a professional way to ask certain questions or get the most meaningful information and feedback from supervisors to advance in your career. I look forward to reading more from this author!"

Danielle Cassells, from Goodreads

“I'm a former leader in the energy business and the founder of a non profit for first generation college students. Gorick masterfully presents the behaviors that are critical differentiators between top performers and the rest of the pack in corporate America. He created a comprehensive guide to early success in the workplace. His real life examples from diverse, first generation graduates are powerful, enlightening, and easily understood. Unspoken Rules is a must read for any young person starting their career, especially those from an underrepresented background!"

Paul Posoli, Founder, CareerSpring, from Goodreads

"As a manager now, I want all of my early-career (first 5-10 years) to employees to read this, especially since my current company doesn’t have the type of intensive new hire training programs that many top-tier private sector firms do. It is also a helpful tool to me for coaching my team members in certain areas - from how to write an email to how to approach conflict resolution.”

NN, from Goodreads

"This book would benefit those new to the workplace the most but being someone who has been a working doctor for over 4 years, even I found useful pointers for myself in it. I recently had a baby and as a parent, you want nothing but the best for your kids; a lot like how you want the trainees you've taken under your wing to succeed and even excel beyond you have. The lessons in this book are definitely getting passed down to all those I'm mentoring. This is a great way to prepare and set new trainees up for future success."

Arsa Sayed, from Goodreads

"I am so jealous of early-career people now because they have this book to give them some unspoken rules in the workplace to put in action. If I knew most of these rules when I was younger, I most likely would have had better career advancement. I found that this book is not just for those graduating from college for the first time, but those introverted workers who have struggled to be noticed for their hard work (even interns). I think this would be a great graduation present as well as bought by a mid-career person who needs to better navigate the unspoken rules in a new job or are thinking of leaving their current job."

Estar, from Goodreads

"As someone who has had a wide variety of early career experiences and as someone who writes, reflects, and reads often on the topic of professional development, I had thought I knew much of what there is to know on the topic, but Gorick’s book proved me wrong in the best way. I found new insight in practically every paragraph and frankly wanted to bookmark every page!After reading the book, I am approaching my professional life both in and outside of work in an entirely new and better way. I now have tremendous guidance on how to best navigate both challenges and opportunities with the highest level of tact and EQ."

Jessica Li, from Goodreads

"Gorick has committed his life to democratizing access to the knowledge all people need to succeeding in the workplace! This book has changed the life of my niece who graduated college and has now already has gone from design intern to being promoted to assistant designer. She credits this book in her path to success!"
