The desire for fulfilling work is one of the great aspirations of our age and this inspirational book reveals how one might make it a reality.

Drawing on wisdom about work that is to be found in sociology, psychology, history and philosophy, Roman Krznaric sets out a practical and innovative guide to negotiating the labyrinth of choices, overcoming the fear of change, and finding a career that makes you thrive.
