What Your Boss Never Wants You to Know: How to Find Your Strengths, Work Happier, Grow Your Expertise, and Rediscover Your Life (ePub)

Is work becoming a constant struggle of forcing yourself to get out of bed and show up every morning? Do you find yourself wishing that you could do something different, be your own boss, or perhaps to not have to work at all? Are you longing to bring the spark of passion into your life and find a sense of purpose and satisfaction that you've never known before? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you are not alone.

Too many of us find ourselves in the situation of feeling unfulfilled in life. Perhaps we are lucky enough to land the job of our dreams, to find someone we want to spend the rest of our lives with, and to enjoy the blessings of a loving family, yet something still compels us to want more. Is it a fact of the human condition that we will always be unsatisfied with what we have, or are we simply not taught how to find that satisfaction in anything that we do?

One thing that is certain is that most of us need to work to survive. Some latch onto whatever job they can find to make ends meet and get by while others pour countless hours into gaining the education, skills, and experience that they need to be hired into a position that will reward them with material gains and a sense of meaning. In both cases, these people too often find themselves feeling bored, dissatisfied, and ultimately trapped in a position that isn't bringing them happiness and enhancing their lives the way they would like.

So, what is missing? What are all these people doing wrong? How can so many be unhappy in a time when technology and the abundance of available information make nearly anything possible?
