​COMPASSIONATE CAREERS: Making a Living by Making a Difference

​

Compassionate Careers: Making a Living by Making a Difference (Career Press in 2015) helps people find their way toward purposeful work and a meaningful life.

 

Years of research taught us that while most people want to have purposeful work, they don't know how to find opportunities or have a plan to change their current situations. Compassionate Careers shares stories from scores of people who have found meaning or were successful in transitions. The book provides a framework for thinking about such options and includes exercises to build a personalized plan.

 

Stories come from inspirational leaders such as Desmond Tutu, Jane Goodall, and the directors of some of the world’s most renowned cause-driven organizations; from celebrities who have chosen to direct their energy toward service; and from many everyday people who have discovered how to link their work to their dreams and core values. Compassionate Careers thus chronicles what people who have made the choice to work within civil society organizations have discovered—how their previous experiences in life prepared them, what challenges they encountered, and what strategies others might employ to successfully unleash and navigate their own more deeply meaningful career paths.
