Synopsis

The much-anticipated sequel to the bestselling Life Reimagined (over 40,000 copies sold), this new guide to finding one's calling at work applies to all ages and stages of life.

The speed, scope, and turbulence of the working world has increased exponentially over the last decade-plus. Work hours are steadily increasing, and people's work lives now extend far past 65. With so much time spent on the job, it's more important than ever to find work that makes the most of your unique gifts, interests, and passions-to discover your true calling. That's exactly what bestselling authors Richard Leider and David Shapiro help you do in Work Reimagined.

The authors combine a thoughtful and practical discussion about finding your calling with advice and examples showing how to apply these ideas to your life. Through a unique Calling Card exercise-available online-that features a guided exploration of 52 "natural preferences" (such as Advancing Ideas, Doing the Numbers, Building Relationships, Performing Events) the book gives readers a new way to detect and reflect on the core of their life's work. They mix in dozens of inspiring stories featuring individuals who have found, or are in the process of finding, their calling. This is an inspiring, effective, and entertaining approach to discovering the work you were born to do, no matter what stage of life you are in.

Useful for reflection about what gives you purpose in your work and life. I especially appreciated the chapter about legacy and their questions about how to define what brings you joy in your work.
