Attain The Art Of Work: A Proven Path To Discovering What You Were Meant To Do Originated By Jeff Goins In Brochure
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 lifes work is difficult and risky, even scary, which is why few finish the journey.
This is a book about discovering your lifes work, that treasure of immeasurable worth we all long for.
Its 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.
I admit that I'm a fan of Jeff Goins' writing style and approach to community and to life, so I went into this book expecting to like it.
The stories included just blew me away, I wasn't prepared to see the lives of others unfold in such a way when it's a book about finding your life's work or vocation.
It definitely goes deeper than most life/career guides, The writing style makes the The Art of Work's topic very approachable, It's challenging without feeling like you are climbing a mountain, Instead, his direction helps you attack your goals just like eating an elephant, . . one bite at a time, I've read worse motivational books, Not many, but I have,
This is clearly a selfpromoting bit of motivational writing intended to secure motivational speaking gigs, It has all the trite advice one would expect from books of this ilk, The only thing this book does to motivate me is make me want to write one of my own with just a bit OK, a LOT more substance to it.
I guess it's time to get on it, Esse livro foi uma das indicações que a gente pega no ar, ouvindo uma palestra ou participando de uma live ou outra coisa qualquer.
No caso, eu estava mediando uma live com um exorientado que me é muito caro, Ele citou esse livro, anotei, vi as referências aqui mesmo no GoodReads e em outros sitios, e mandei para o Kindle.
A princípio me pareceu um livro de autoajuda, que eu raramente ou nunca leio, Fui me surpreendendo na medida em que fui avançando na leitura, e embora possa até ser considerado autoajuda, o livro é muito mais que isso.
É um depoimento de vida do autor, que descreve sua trajetória profissional até tomar coragem e "pivotar" termo originado do basquete na carreira, partindo para o que realmente era o seu caminho iluminado.
Bons exemplos, livro bem construído e organizado, não tem exageros e nenhuma pretensão de influenciar ninguém, é apenas uma descrição de trajetória.
Que serve muito de exemplo para qualquer um de nós, Para mim particularmente, que já estou com quaseanos de aposentado, e
sentindo necessidade de "pivotar" e enfrentar novos desafios com meusanos bem vividos.
Recomendo sim, vale a leitura, I just finished crying all the way through the conclusion of this book, I joined an online writer's group reading this and it was one of the best decisions of my summer.
Sometimes, it's very easy to get lost in the forest to forget we are our own compass and that we have everything we need to commit and fulfill our life's calling.
And that it never ends, not even when we die, There's this word, legacy, and what it means is how we, instead of working to live, live to work, to be our best selves, and how this can impact others.
Well, Mr. Goins, you're leaving a fine legacy, It's touched me and I hope I can utilize all I'm learning to do the same,
I had already been part of a group building a library for our small communities, but the day to day grind, the red tape, the politics, the trying to share the vision with others who can't believe in something so large I was overwhelmed.
This book broke it down for me, That it's all a process and calling is not about doing something on your own, and how much impact we can have by living our daily lives the best way possible.
It also helped me to say, "I am a poet, " That may sound like such a small thing to many, but knowing this clarified so many things for me and now I feel like I'm on the right path.
The path may throw me for a loop or several, be hard, scary, uncomfortable, but I know it's the true path.
I'm not just a poet with words, but with my life, Sometimes, a book like this can open you up to what was already there, obvious to perhaps many but yourself.
I am on fire again, Only it's not a consuming fire, It's lifeaffirming and my hope is I leave behind a legacy of light and warmth for many others.
Great book. Go out and get your copy, : I read Jeffs blog and listen to his podcast, so when the opportunity came to preorder this book I took it.
"The Art of Work recaptures the ancient understanding of vocation as more than a job, or even a career, but as a passionfueled calling that makes each day an exciting adventure.
"
This book wont give you the answer to what your calling is, but it sure helped me think through my calling and life in general.
And I am adding it to my must read every year list,
"Your calling is not a single event in your life it's the whole body of work you make including your job, your relationships, and the legacy you leave behind.
" Wow folks, I don't use all caps a lot, but SERIOUSLY HOW DID ANYONE LET A BOOK GET PUBLISHED IN THIS CENTURY that literally says that Asians are better at math for some kind of inborn reason No joke.
I read that part like four times because I thought it must be wrong, He used that and Kenyans and running in the same thought, Just what Also used thugs in a really uncomfortable context around prisons, Also runs a writing group with "tribe" in the title,
So um yeah, this guy is white, and that's my review, Have not find my purpose yet, but this book helped me take the next steps in finding it.
Absolutely recommend it.
My lessons from it, on my blog: sitelink com
Some really good stories, I wanted to like this book, to be inspired by it, nevertheless upon finishing it, only one word seemed fitting to describe The Art of Work and that was, empty.
This is a book that sets out to serve as a stepping stone on your path to live your best life with true passion and purpose.
Rather than give you a step by step roadmap, it goes through several people's stories on how they found their calling.
Whilst well intentioned, The Art of Work ultimately falls flat due to several reasons, The most obvious ones are that the parables are not that interesting and for most people they won't be relatable or offer any practical advice, and lastly because the chapters seem like individual sections that were put together rather than a cohesive body of work, with consistent and strong themes throughout.
Grabbed randomly from the library, Yes, maybe it will tell you "nothing new" but I think it's a good book to ground yourself and inspire hope as to what your life can become.
It summarizes how to pursue a calling even if you don't know what you want to do yet.
اگر به دنبال پیدا کردن رسالت شخصی خودتون هستید دنبال این هستید که بدونید معنای زندگیتون چیه برای چی به دنیا اومدید کتاب خوبیه زبان بیانش روونه و تمرین های عملی هم به ما میده
خوبی کتاب اینه هر بحثی که گفته با یک مثال عملی بیان شده
یه بخشی از کتاب رو براتون پایین میارم
گاهی اوقات رسالت به معنای زندگی راحت تر نیست. گاهی در جهت موفقیت شخصی تعادل ایجاد نمی کنیم بلکه حتی به سمت دردی عظیم تر می رویم. اما معما از این قرار است: رسالت همیشه شما را به زندگی ای رهنمون خواهد کرد که با ارزش است زندگی ای که می توانید به آن افتخار کنید. هرچند شیوه دسترسی به چنین زندگی ای همیشه به اختیار ما نیست. بعضی وقتها مسیر می تواند پرهزینه حتی مرگبار باشد. اما چیزی که در انتهای جاده وجود دارد غنیمتی است که با پول نمی توان آن را خرید و میراثی که جهان فراموش نخواهد کرد. .
