10x Award-Winning · #1 Amazon Best-Selling Author
The Anti-Resume is the career book for people who got here sideways — and are ready to turn every odd job, wrong turn, and wild detour into the career they actually want.
Your old resume belongs in the bin.
Your real career starts here.
What readers are saying
"This book is a reminder that your background, your weird edges, and your non-linear path are not weaknesses — they are your unfair advantage. Harvey Lee shows why authenticity is no longer optional, but mission-critical for anyone who wants a future-proof career."
— Maja Voje, GTM Strategist
What readers are saying
"My career was running on autopilot until this book gave me a sharp wake-up call to take real agency over what I wanted. It helped me refocus on what I care about, and position myself into doing work I genuinely enjoy. I'd recommend it to anyone, no matter the career path."
— Kristin Miltner, Product Marketing Manager

About the book
What You'll Learn
Harvey Lee was a roadie, got sacked, got laid off — more than once. Then he launched the original Xbox, became a VP, and a 10x award-winning author. This isn't just a book. It's scar tissue turned into a system — for anyone who got into their career sideways and is ready to own what comes next. From an author whose career advice reached 50M+ people last year — because he learned it all the hard way.
Turn your zigzag into a story worth telling.
Stop apologising for your non-linear path. Learn to reframe every detour, dead end, and sideways move into a career narrative that makes people lean in.
Get hired — even when the system's rigged.
The job market isn't fair. Good. This book shows you how to stop playing by the rules and start engineering your own visibility, access, and momentum.
Find companies worth your energy.
Not every opportunity deserves a yes. Learn to spot culture theatre, ask the questions that actually matter, and choose roles where you can do your best work.
Build a career that can't be made redundant.
Side hustles, personal brand, and the long game. Create something you own — something that outlasts any single job title, company, or reorg.
Get recognised without selling out.
You're in the role. Now make your value impossible to ignore — and ask for more without playing politics or losing the thing that makes you, you.
