Purpose Plus: What Really Matters at Work

While other books about finding the right job focus on purpose alone, the funny (because they're true) short stories in "Purpose Plus: What Really Matters at Work" illuminate five dimensions:

Purpose: What you value, the purpose of your work

Position: What a job entails-the duties and tasks

People: The nature of the people you work with and report to

Place: Where the work takes place

Price: What you will and won't do for pay and other perks

If you're a born doctor or teacher-someone with clear purpose-focusing on the other dimensions pinpoints your dream job. When you don't know what you want to be if you grow up, paying attention to the other dimensions reveals what is important to you at work.

Each silly on-the-job story includes transferable lessons and addresses all five dimensions, modeling how to reflect on your work experiences to discover what really matters to you at work.
