The Art of Work
The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to Do | Jeff Goins
3 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
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.

Here‘s the lineup for my Career Exploration course starting next week. I think the Art of Work brings up some interesting concepts/questions, but it still sounds very much like a 30-something white dude telling his readers to ‘Just Do It!‘ I hope my adult students find it a good-enough jumping-off point for their own exploration.

I generally don‘t go in for any of these self-help sort of books. But, I‘m at a point where I‘m reevaluating what I want to do with my life. I gave this one a try. Big mistake, totally rubbed me the wrong way. I made it about halfway through the third chapter, And I‘m pretty sure I only made it that far because it‘s on audiobook. I‘m definitely going to refund this one. If this works for you, awesome. This one just isn‘t for me.
