“Work. The vast majority of us will spend one third of our life doing it. For an activity we will spend a significant amount of our time doing, most do not find it meaningful. Through theory, exercises, and personal stories, Meaningful Work takes you on a journey to discover the meaning in your work, and should you not find it, guides you through the steps to ensure your next role is a meaningful one."
