When a person is sent a book concerning the philosophy of
work just what is a reviewer to do? Try to understand the message behind the
writing.
One point seems to be that work can be viewed as a calling—a
vocation.
It has been said that we are all products of our environment
influenced by the people we encounter and the places we live. I am not sure I
buy that. But I do know we can become what we practice.
Greatness comes when we persevere at what we do. According
to the author we can look at life as a journey and within this journey we are
on we have a calling to do something with ourselves.
That calling has a specific meaning that fills a need.
Awareness of being called to something is the start. Trial and error and
failing is part of the journey. This calling will not always be easy and it
will take work. As we practice, we find out what we are meant or not meant to
do.
Goins uses the template of a path that starts with an urge that
only you can fulfill. In seven chapters and in 191 pages with an appendix he
gently guides you to view your work vocation.
This book was sent to me gratis from Nelson Books as part of
the book look bloggers review program to be reviewed. The views expressed are
those of the reviewer and not those of the publisher.
