Does my work have any real purpose?

Is it fulfilling the expectations I once had?

Am I doing what I want for a living or merely earning money?

How much am I contributing to the wider society?

These are just some of the questions an increasing number of people are asking. In 'Why Do I Do This Every Day?' work consultant and trainer Fraser Dyer analyses a syndrome whereby many adults feel disaffected with their careers. While they believe there is something more satisfying and meaningful they could be doing they struggle to work out what it should be.

Based on the premise that our sense of meaning comes largely from our work, the book defines the idea of 'vocation' and argues that our ultimate motivational need is to fulfill our potential.

Drawing heavily on stories of real people and offering practical exercises, the book covers key topics such as: Finding self-expression through workUtilizing all your skills, both natural and learnedCreating a work environment in which you can flourishDefining essential criteria for meaningful workEmbracing changeBuilding a new relationship with money

This book will be welcomed by all those feeling frustrated in their work and wanting help in finding true meaning in what they do each day.
