A book of essays for professionals who love the work, but not the job — and who don't have time to deal with it.
For one reason or another, we can't leave the job, or we're hoping that things will improve. So we go to work day after unsatisfying day, hoping somehow that the things we don't like will mercifully end, leaving only the things we do like.
Some days are better than others. Occasionally we have stretches of really great days.
That's what keeps us coming back. The one-armed bandit of life gives us just enough encouragement to keep us playing.
If this sounds a little familiar, then this book is for you.
Go For It! explores daily life at work, when the job can be a burden, but the work is a love — or at least a fun playmate. It examines how we choose our own experiences from the menu life presents, and it will help you find some tasty treats. Most important, it shows you how commitment to what you're doing — whatever that is — makes life easier and more enjoyable.
The book is organized as thirty short essays that at one time or another have been published as issues of my newsletter, Point Lookout. Each one is a quick read — perhaps five minutes or so. They're selected for a common theme — they're meant to get inside your head and your heart, so that after you read one, you'll put the book down and spend a day or so reflecting on it now and then. Or maybe reread it.
In that time, it's my hope that you'll find new insight, and perhaps find something in the essay that you can put to use in your life to begin to change it for the better.
The book is in electronic format — you can read or print it if you have an Acrobat Reader. That makes it great for travelers (it weighs nothing) and it's a wonderful, uplifting gift.
