Author Description

From AudioFile More than a book about work, TRUE WORK is about listening to one's inner voice and finding work that follows the Buddhist precept of "right livelihood." The co-founders of "New Dimensions Radio" offer inspiring anecdotes and useful strategies for dealing with work-related issues. Husband and wife alternate narrating sections of the book, with Tom reading the lion's share. This benefits the program because his voice is more pleasant; his narration sounds more like a conversation. Justine's voice has a slight nasal quality to it, and her reading is not quite as smooth as her husband's. P.B.J. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine Product Description Michael and Justine reflect on the essence of what they have learned that your work is an expression of following your inner voice and living your passion. From Library Journal This inspirational audiobook from the husband-and-wife team with the "New Dimensions" public radio series summarizes the couple's 25 years of discussion about the spiritual components of work with spiritual leaders such as the Dalai Lama, Thomas Moore, and Joseph Campbell. Here, they muse on making a life while making a living. Topics include following your inner voice, heeding the spiritual call, living your passion, how a job can connect to deep desires and emotions, and strategies for improving an unsatisfying work situation. This New Age approach to a spiritual meaning of work may frustrate task-oriented folks, or type A personalities, especially those facing abrupt loss of employment, so supplement this one with the practical advice of Richard Bolles's Parachute works or other career-development guides more focused on "how to get a job."
