More Description

This book is a collection of stories from people who deeply love their work (most days). People who are working beyond their own "I Shoulds" and who are changing what work looks and feels like for themselves and their families, organizations, and communities. For example, bike messengers serving their neighborhood and honoring their own love of riding bikes. A rabbi, a pastor, and an imam who are best friends, working together, arms wrapped around each other's shoulders. Independent consultants and speakers who love their work and their communities. Musicians listening to the creative muses within themselves. A non-profit CEO who helps others laugh out loud and battle addiction. A conflict mediator and an artist who love their work and each other. A businessman making friends all over the planet through his love of learning. Factory workers free to become and do whatever they want. The authors themselves are learners-trying to understand how to sustain and support yourself doing work you love. The book ends with their own story: two bloggers/ consultants/writers/ researchers/ story gatherers/mid-life-crisis/40-somethings co-creating a book together from opposite sides of the world, and learning to love their work. Together.
