The Art of Work by Jeff Goins

The Art of Work

by Jeff Goins

Jeff Goins, a brilliant new voice counting Seth Godin and Jon Acuff among his fans, explains how to abandon the status quo and live a life that matters with true passion and purpose.

The path to your life’s work is difficult and risky, even scary, which is why few finish the journey. This is a book about discovering your life’s work, that treasure of immeasurable worth we all long for. It’s about the task you were born to do.

As Jeff Goins explains, the search begins with passion but does not end there. Only when our interests connect with the needs of the world do we begin living for a larger purpose. Those who experience this intersection experience something exceptional and enviable. Though it is rare, such a life is attainable by anyone brave enough to try.

Through personal experience, compelling case studies, and current research on the mysteries of motivation and talent, Jeff shows readers how to find their vocation and what to expect along the way.

This is a beautifully written book. It delves deeper into the concept of vocation than most career and life purpose books, pointing out the stages through which people journey on the way to discover their true calling in the world.

I enjoyed the examples he drew from real life, to illustrate the ways in which others have encountered their callings through a wide array of life experiences.

In fact, I enjoyed this book so much, I bought 2 copies and donated one to my local public library. I think anyone can benefit from reading this book.
