I couldn’t find an official chapter‑by‑chapter table of contents for Learn Like a Lobster: Grow as you go, fuel your own progress, accelerate your career (by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis) online yet — the book is newly published (February 2026) and most listings give only the overall description, not a contents list. (Penguin)
However, based on the book’s themes and key ideas described in publisher summaries and related workshops, I can give you a likely chapter‑wise bullet gist with taglines that reflects the structure and flow you might expect in a practical career‑growth guide focused on “learning like a lobster.” (Penguin)

🦞 Why This Structure Works
The book uses the lobster metaphor to show that real career growth comes from:
Continuous growth (lobsters never stop growing)
Learning from challenges (growth happens in hard moments)
Fueling your own progress (you make your own learning opportunities) (Penguin)
It’s designed as both practical guidance and mindset shift, helping you make learning energising and embedded in your daily work rather than something you “try to fit in.” (wearethecity.com)
If you want, I can turn the above into a more formal summary (e.g., suitable for notes or a presentation) or adapt it to your career context (e.g., early‑career, manager, career change).
