About this title

Synopsis

"This book reminds us that work is not meant to be endured-it's meant to be enjoyed, with purpose at its core. A practical, people-first guide for anyone ready to stop working just for a paycheck."

- Garry Ridge, Chairman Emeritus, WD-40 Company, USA Today Bestselling Author of Any Dumb Ass Can Do It

For many professionals, work looks successful on the outside-steady income, respected title, a polished résumé-yet feels empty on the inside. The quiet dread of Monday mornings, the sense of misalignment, and the feeling that something essential is missing are more common than we admit.

More Than a Paycheck is a compassionate and practical guide for people who believe work should carry meaning, dignity, and purpose. It speaks to professionals who are burned out, stuck, or at a crossroads-whether they are rethinking a long-held career path, navigating a layoff, or questioning traditional definitions of success.

Drawing from decades of coaching experience, Ozlem Brooke Erol helps readers reconnect with what truly matters. Through reflection, real-life stories, and grounded exercises, readers learn to identify their strengths, clarify their values, and recognize what genuinely energizes them at work.

Rather than promoting drastic or reckless change, this book offers thoughtful pathways forward-showing how purpose can be expressed by enhancing one's current role, transitioning careers with intention, or creating something new. It emphasizes alignment over hustle and sustainability over sacrifice.

At its core, More Than a Paycheck challenges the idea that work is something to endure until retirement. It invites readers to design a working life that supports well-being, fulfillment, and contribution-while honoring real-world responsibilities.

This book is for anyone who knows, deep down, that work can be more human-and that a fulfilling career is not a luxury, but a possibility worth pursuing.
