Description
Book SynopsisLife is not what you get out of it . . . it’s what you put back in.
Yet our current means for summarizing life’s work, from resumes to salaries, are devoid of what matters most. This is why the work we do is often bad for our wellbeing, when it should be making us happier and healthier.
What are the most meaningful contributions we can make? This is Life’s Great Question.
Life is about what you do that improves the world around you. It is about investing in the development of other people. And it is about efforts that will continue to grow when you are gone.
Life’s Great Question will show you how to make your work and life more meaningful, and greatly boost your wellbeing. In this remarkably quick read, author Tom Rath describes how finding your greatest contribution is far more effective than following talent or passion alone.
More than a book, each copy includes a code for an online program that identifies the most significant contributions you can make.
This deeply practical book will alter how you look at your work and change the way you live each day.
