The job that gets you the gold watch and a pension after devoting your life to the company is becoming a rare bird. The time is now to develop a craft, a trade or a skill that will help you earn. As long as you are going there, why not make it something you love and maybe even add a little service to others?
If you have followed Dan Miller at all with his 48 Days to the Work You Love, No More Dreaded Mondays or his blogs and podcasts then nothing in this book will surprise you. Dan and his son Jarad do inspire in their tag team approach to explaining the goal of working and living well. I have been following Dan for a few years and knew I would enjoy this book, but I was not ready for it to stir up a strong desire to look more seriously at some ideas I have had.
The fundamental question Dan asks in all his work is “Why would you choose to do a job you hate, when there is plenty of work available that you can love?” Why indeed? Pick up this book and let it guide you to transition to work you love!
