Work With What You Have: Ways to Creative and Meaningful Livelihood

Deborahann Smith takes up where she left off in her well-received Temp: How to Survive and Thrive in the World of Temporary Employment, this time providing the same sound and entertaining advice to the broader audience of everyone who works for a living. Her book shows how to make all the work we do meaningful and rewarding: from finding the job in the first place, to flourishing in it, to—eventually—moving on. She shows how to cultivate a positive attitude no matter what the task at hand, how to generate satisfaction for one's work from deep within, and how to continue to learn and grow throughout your working life. Also included is wisdom drawn from the author's own Zen practice and personal experiences, as well as from spiritual teachers, such as the Dalai Lama and Krishnamurti, on how to turn work into the spiritual path it is meant to be.

Deborahann Smith is the author of Temp: How to Survive and Thrive in the World of Temporary Employment. She lives in Boulder, Colorado.
