Reidun Havnes

Reidun Havnes is a sociologist, author, and career advisor who explores the relationship between work, identity, and everyday life.

Through years of working with people navigating career change and uncertainty, she has met many who felt stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from their working lives—even when everything looked right on the outside.

Rather than offering quick fixes or step-by-step formulas, her work invites readers to better understand themselves before making important decisions. She believes that meaningful work begins with understanding who we are, not simply what we do.

You're Not Here to Hate Your Job reflects her belief that career choices are never just about work—they are also about identity, relationships, values, and the stories we carry about ourselves.
