Do you love what you are doing? Is your life all work and no play, or are you pursuing a truly balanced life you really love living? Are there other things you would rather do but you’re not sure exactly what they are? What do you plan to do with the rest of your life? Do you feel you’ve made the right career choices thus far, or do you see other possibilities for your future?

Here’s the book that answers some of today’s most important career questions. If you want to find a job you really love, you need to do first things first.
