Randy Hain's third book offers a much needed guide to any business professional seeking more from life than work alone. Through his over two decades experience in interviewing and working with other business professionals, Hain captures the best of what he has learned and observed about how to pursue a life filled with meaning in this book. In addition, Hain has interviewed over a dozen professional men and women from around the country in the book who are actively pursuing their own lives filled with meaning. Their combined and eclectic experiences greatly enrich "Something More" and offer the reader an authentic guide filled with practical wisdom which will connect with almost any interested reader.
After exploring our motivations for the choices we make and the obstacles which get in the way, Hain addresses work/life balance, recalibrating our thinking, serving others, job satisfaction, using our gifts, authenticity, the role of crisis, courage and the role of faith from a broad and ecumenical perspective. This multi-faceted approach will help the reader embark on the path to a more meaningful life headed in the right direction and armed with the tools they need for the journey. The thought-provoking discussion questions at the end of each chapter will challenge the reader's perceptions and encourage different thinking about the path of their lives.
"Something More" is ideal for any business person from new college graduate to retiree. The book is accessible, practical, authentic and filled with wisdom. Anyone seeking more out of life than simply their job will find the book helpful, engaging and inspirational.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
