Short description

40 hours a week is too long to spend in a place that makes you miserable, I know this first hand. I had to learn what I wanted to do and how to do it, that's what this book is: a guide to finding or creating work that you love.

Extended description

For ten years I worked at a job I absolutely hated, everyday all I could think about was quitting. Every day as I went to this job I thought I could put in my 40 hours and when I was done with work I could forget about it, I was wrong. Even though the job paid well, it wasn’t enough; it wasn’t my passion and had no purpose.

When you spend so much of your week at a place that makes you miserable it will creep into every area of your life. I wanted to quit so bad but I didn’t know what I wanted to do or what I was even qualified to do. I didn’t have a college degree; I didn’t have any special training, so I thought I was stuck.

This book is about that job and other jobs and my journey to get away from those jobs and find work that I truly love. It talks about how to find or create work that is your passion and that benefits every other area of your life. It talks about a lot of the struggles we deal with every day in our work and some tips to get through those struggles.
