Business & management; Business studies: general; Management: leadership & motivation; Advice on careers & achieving success

"We can't afford to drift through a lifetime of predictable, boring paychecks, hoping to ease gracefully into a comfy retirement.

Unless we take charge of our careers, we will be vulnerable to the ups and downs in the economy and in the workplace- downsizing, layoffs, cutbacks.

The good news is, you can find your true calling at work.

New job opportunities are out there--but they may not be business-as-usual.

Do you hate Mondays?

If so, you're probably not in the right job for you.

So what's keeping you at your current job?

A steady paycheck and the promise of a secure retirement?

In today's economy, there is nothing safe about punching the clock for a job you dislike.

Psychologist and coach Dan Miller shows us that the only way to find true security is by following your calling, and figuring out how to make the job you love work for you--instead of the other way around.

As Americans grow more fearful of keeping their jobs, this empowering book--filled with inspiring advice and stories about people who have achieved unprecedented success--offers clear answers to anyone searching for meaningful and profitable work--whether transforming your current job, or launching a new career.

Is Your Job Making You ""Stupid""?

Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, once wrote that a person who spends his life performing the same repetitive tasks ""generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become."" Wow! Now that's not a pretty picture. Unfortunately, much of our work today consists of those boring, repetitive tasks.

But maybe you're one of the many who have gotten caught up in thinking work is just something you do to support your weekends. Work is that necessary evil, a means to an end, or just a curse from God. You probably take your role of providing for yourself and those depending on you seriously. But you don't expect to enjoy your work-you just do what has to be done.

Only now you're seeing that even loyalty and dependability bring no guarantees. Lately you've seen coworkers who have been let go after years of faithful service. Perhaps your entire industryhas been shaken by outsourcing or changing technology. Maybe you're tired of the long commute and being tied to your desk when you know you could make your own hours and still be productive. You may have ideas stirring that you think could create new income and time freedom.

But here comes another Monday. Maybe feeling trapped is just the reality of the way things are. Doesn't everyone dread Mondays? Doesn't every responsible person just bury their dreams and passions in exchange for getting a paycheck?

Absolutely not! All of us, no matter how old we are or what kind of work we're doing, can learn to bring the same excitement to our jobs that we bring to whatever we love to do on our days off. I believe that each one of us can pursue work that is a reflection of our best selves-a true fulfillment of our callings.

No More Mondays will show you that meaningful work really is within your grasp.

And once you've opened the door and seen all the exciting career opportunities that await you-whether you decide to revolutionize your current job or launch a new career altogether-you'll find you can't go back to the old way of working.""

From No More Mondays

For everyone who dreads going to work on Monday mornings, inspiring advice on how to find fulfilling work in an uncertain age.

Do you hate Mondays?

If so, what's keeping you at your current job?

If you said a steady paycheck and the promise of a secure retirement, then you're in for a big disappointment. In today's volatile economy, there is nothing safe about punching the clock for a job you hate.

As beloved talk-show host and bestselling author Dan Miller reveals, the only way to find true security is by following your calling and then finding or creating work that matches that calling and passion.

No More Mondays's practical, inspirational advice speaks to people looking for guidance on how to launch a new career or business, those who want to stay in their current jobs and give the old 9-to-5 model a twenty-first-century makeover, and managers desperate to understand the way people want to work today. For all of them, Dan Miller's message is loud and clear- If you're one of those people who dread going to work on Mondays, do something about it!"
