The Art of Work

De: Jeff Goins

Narrado por: 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 listeners how to find their vocations and what to expect along the way.

Discovering Your Life Calling Step By Step

Jeff Goins has fashioned a useful guide to flesh out the means to discover the ever elusive life calling. I was concerned it might be yet another book filled with fluff on the subject but after having read some of his other material I was sure he would do justice to the subject and I was not disappointed. I can recommend it to other readers interested in attiring themselves in the necessary accoutrements to fulfilling or beginning the process of culling a life calling. I found useful insights to further my process and I was pricked a time or two to dig deeper which I am sure was the authors intention. It is obvious Goins is fulfilling one of his life's calling in authoring such a book and by creating a program to help further what the book gets started.

Good stories and lots of food for thought!

Great advice and anecdotes, but performance was pretty amateur. My advice: buy a hard copy.

Encouraging, Empowering, and Clarifying

Excellent book with a treasure of wisdom and great advice. It's a must for anyone who wants to make the most of this life we have!

Inspiring!

This is the second audiobook I have listened to by Jeff Goins. The first was "You Are A Writer." Although this sounds overly dramatic, both books have transformed my life. The author's positive encouraging tone and words have served as much needed inspiration to truly live my life. The first book gave me the courage to start writing instead of simply dreaming of writing. This book, "The Art of Work," has taught me a fresh way to view my life in its totality. Previously I thought of my life in a compartmentalized manner. In each separate little box in which I had stuffed my job, my writing hobby, my child-rearing, my chores, etc. I was facing burnout to varying degrees. A lot of it was downright drudgery. Through Jeff Goins' description of living a "portfolio life" I know see each portion as part of a larger vision and purpose. And keeping that newfound sense of purpose has infused meaning into even the most mundane tasks. I can't thank the author enough for giving me an unexpected life transformation! I highly encourage this book to everyone at a praxis in his or her life.

ANSWERING MY CALL
