Zen and the Art of Making a Living: A Practical Guide to Creative Career Design

THE MOST INNOVATIVE, UNCONVENTIONAL AND PROFOUNDLY PRACTICAL CAREER GUIDE SINCE "WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE?"

For career consultant Laurence G. Boldt everyone is the artist of his or her own life. In this comprehensive, useful, and potentially life-changing book, he offers a new vision of work.

The first part is about identifying work that will be deeply satisfying discovering what you really want to do. The second part provides practical, active steps to finding or creating that work. In addition to traditional material like assessing career skills, conducting a job search, and writing a résumé, you'll find a wealth of information not generally found in career guides, including how to start a business, work freelance, establish a nonprofit corporation, manage multiple careers-and how to love what you're doing until you're doing what you love.

With over 500 quotations from sages of every stripe and 120 easy-to-use worksheets, this book goes far beyond other career guides in helping you widen the horizons of what is possible-then focus in to make the ideal real.
