Whistle While You Work: Heeding Your Life's Calling by Richard J Leid
Everyone has a calling with a unique purpose to fulfill in the world. Heeding it is about deliberately choosing a way of life and work consistent with individual gifts, passions, and values. Through powerful stories and a guided exploration of 52 possible callings, Whistle While You Work helps readers discover how to make a living doing what they were born to do. The authors provide a framework for embracing a very abstract subject in a systematic, practical, and fun way. And their Calling Cards TM help readers develop answers to profound life questions as they learn to listen with the third ear to cultivate a mode of searching that isn't limited to the merely tangible.
