Do you love your job? Too few people do. In fact, surveys show that 80 to 95 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs. Considering that most of us will work nearly 100,000 hours during our lifetimes (half the waking hours of our entire adult lives!), it's sad that our work doesn't bring us the rewards--both financial and emotional--that we deserve. Love Your Job! looks at the people behind the statistics and at the emotions those people feel: how they may fear change in their jobs, how they strive for a better life at work and home, and how they sometimes truly can love what they do for a living.Dr. Paul Powers is a management psychologist who has helped all kinds of people--from CEOs to mechanics, from returning war vets to new graduates--find and keep jobs they love. In Love Your Job! he shares his experience and his heartfelt belief that people can go beyond the day-to-day obligations and stresses of their jobs to get more out of the hours, weeks, and years they spend at work and find real meaning in what they do.There are many long, boring, and sometimes cynical books on how to write a resume, dress for success, and look the interviewer in the eye; Love Your Job! isn't one of them. Rather than showing you how to manipulate your way into getting a better-paying job, it encourages you to look inside yourself at what is really important to you and to bring your best self to your work, whatever it may be.In a series of one-page reflections, anecdotes, and exercises, Love Your Job! can be read either from start to finish or in small doses, when you need to lift your spirits. The book contains four sections, as well as an introduction and resource list:
