Discovering what you want to do with your life is complex. Some people never get it figured out. Others know exactly what it is and seem to go after the “calling” with a passion.
Hundreds of books cover the topic of “doing what you love.” A lot of those books aren’t very practical. Or, after 200 pages I find myself thinking, “I already knew all of that… and it still doesn’t help me figure out my calling!” If you want a fresh approach to discovering your vocation, I suggest you get a copy of Born for This by Chris Guillebeau.
Guillebeua’s style is easy to read and even inspiring at times. Included with his practical text are several free online assessments and documents to help you apply his material. If you are an entrepreneur type, this book is especially geared toward you! Born for This also has great suggestions for ways to improve your current situation if you feel like that thing you are “supposed” to do with your life. The suggestions and ideas about “reframing” your life and career are worth the read.
I’m planning on keeping this one handy to reference when I get “stuck” with what to do next in my career.
Many books I read and review come directly from publishers. Please note, however, that I am not paid to review any of these books, and that everything I say about a book is my own opinion.
