Recommendation

If you’re frustrated with your career or if you’ve been hopping from company to company looking for the perfect job, this book is a must-read. Most jobs, authors Joe Frodsham and Bill Gargiulo believe - perhaps overoptimistically - already offer the possibility of satisfying work. Frodsham and Gargiulo provide a step-by-step guide to finding the things you truly love to do - your "passions." Once you understand these deep personal needs, then you can retool your job to meet them. The authors caution against switching organizations except as a last resort. getAbstract.com recommends this book to perennial job-seekers. If you absorb its information and do the internal work it advises, perhaps you, too, can attain "career wealth" right where you are. Hint: "career wealth" is not the same thing as earning a lot of money, just a lot of satisfaction.

Take-Aways

  • It’s not where you work that’s limiting you, it’s how you think and act.
  • Career wealth is another way of saying career success - the joy, satisfaction, fulfillment, happiness and passion you feel when you love what you do.
  • To develop a satisfying and fulfilling career, discover and follow your passion.
