Evolution to Purpose

Many never find happiness at work. Will you?

Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation.

Although many don't realize it, unhappiness at work is a consequence of the way we've designed our society, especially our education system. Rather than prepare us for genuine success and happiness in life, most of us are never told what we need to know to answer even our most basic life questions. In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work-and in life-should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose.

In this book, the author explores:

• How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at work
• What it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasure
• How we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it

What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?
