587584
I have always believed I knew what my calling was, but I never took the right steps or had the urge to really pursue my dreams. Thanks to The Art of Work, Jeff has really spoken to my deepest longing to do what I love and to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.

If you have ever had the slightest inkling or hint or whisper of a desire to do something more with your life, do yourself a BIG favor and grab this book. It will change your life, it will empower, and it will give you the practical steps you can take to follow your passion. You don't even have to take a leap. You just have to listen, reach out to those around you, and be willing to put in some work.

This was a phenomenal read that allowed me the opportunity to realize I have a purpose and why I sometimes may have to go through a waiting period before the next step in my journey is revealed.

I'd recommend this to all aspiring and accomplished artists; to those like myself who struggle with attempts at producing a likeness to their subjects.

This is a great read for reassessing where you are at in your life and where you really want to be.

As a mid forties woman working in a high stress corporate job, I felt unfulfilled in my job and travelled away from my family frequently.  Since reading Oli's book, I worked out that I needed to change careers and move in a directon that was much more in synergy with who and what I am.  I am now half way through completing a qualification (while still working full time) which will allow me to work in a field that I am passionate about. I have a clear plan on how to get there and what I need to do to achieve my goals.

Although I had been thinking about changing careers, it really was Oli's book that gave me the motivation to start the journey.

Thanks Oli for your enthusiasm and inspiration.

Well, maybe I have never had the courage to live the life that I dreamed but after read this book I gave to myself the chance to do the things that I really love. All the exercises help me to understand who I am and what I want. So, I'm living the process, my life, with an awesome difference: Now I am honest and fair with myself. I hope you can give yourself the chance to "live" this beautiful book and I hope someday Valerie write more material as good as it is. Thank you.

I received this book as a gift and was skeptical but I decided to do the steps with a close friend who lived across the country.  Once a week we would call each other to discuss that week's chapter.  Doing it with a  friend helped to keep me going.  I found that it truly awakened the artist  inside of me that had laid dorment for years while I miserably trodded  through corporate life and denied my creativity. Once I began to explore my  creativity I felt much better spirtually, emotionally and physically.  I  ended up completing a guide book which is now for sale and I completed a  novel which is not published yet.  Whenever I feel depressed or overwhelmed  with my life, I start the morning pages and almost instantly feel more in  control.  Even if you never thought of yourself as an artist, this book  helps with self-exploration that may bring forth parts of you that you  never realized where there.

I loved this book!  At first it was hard for me to wrap my head around because it is a rare dissenting opinion that you should start by finding your passion and then finding your work.  I will be focusing more on cultivating rare and valuable skills now that I read this! Keep up the good work Cal!

I just started it and I'm enjoying the positive attitude towards being a homemaker. I love taking care of my home and family and appreciate the nonapologetic view. Therr's no need to be embarrassed by my home, as long as I put the effort into it. I look forward to how much more efficient I can be after reading this book.

I'm new to JB Glossinger and his work (as in, less than 30 hours of acquaintance as I write this review). First off, though, my life is already pretty darn good. About the worst I have to deal with is the clutter in my house and the frustration that comes along with it. Maybe that doesn't sound too bad, but it's an issue I've yet to resolve despite years of other programs, tools, and methods. And, on a deeper level, I know it is evidence of my resistance to forging ahead with the (somewhat intimidating) visions I've had of my future.

Historically, I've shown myself repeatedly that holding my focus and intention on task completion for even a short while produces tremendous results. But just "completing tasks" is not a very full life. And the results of straight task completion are not long lasting for me. The Sacred 6 is the first system I've seen that lays out a step-by-step process that appeals to my analytical mind while incorporating my spiritual nature in determining how I should best proceed for me. To be completely honest, it feels as if this book were written for me. I'm really optimistic that I've found a whole-self system to develop a navigational chart for my baby steps until I'm ready to walk fast, and then run.

Obviously, it's up to me to follow the steps and do the work. I've already identified my values and I'm ready to work on my mission so that I can set some goals and list my projects. This accomplishment alone feels really good! I purchased the Kindle version and also signed up for the free online course. (Visit his namesake website to find the details -- and the video course quality is just awesome!)

A clean kitchen counter awaits me, and I can't wait to see what comes after that!!! Thank you so much, JB, for bringing this book through. It is a blessing. You are a blessing <3

I'm not sure after reading this whether I know what I want to be when I grow up but my job search is reinvigorated and I want to do more to explore my mission on earth. The author definitely inspires positive thinking and a more creative approach to work.

For years, I beat myself up because I hopped from job to job because as soon as I mastered a task, I got bored.  Every time I fell in love with a new hobby, I tried to make it a career, only to feel boxed in as soon as it began to take off.  I thought I was afraid of success or lazy or undisciplined, but none of that was true.  Barbara Sher taught me that I have a beautiful mind--like Leonardo da Vinci.  Well, maybe not that good, but I have a hungry mind that needs stimulation.  I have nothing to be ashamed of.
Since reading her book, I have written and published travel articles, entered the Pillsbury Bake-off, and started grad school--none of which I would have wasted time on before because they weren't "worthy" activities.  I've learned that anything that feeds my soul is worthy and every fleeting interest fills my creative reservoir.  Most importantly, I'm the happiest I've ever been since I quit trying to fit into someone else's mold.
If you're feeling flaky or lazy or guilty because you're interested in absolutely everything, read this book.

Great motivator to find what you are meant to do and be satisfied with the career choices you are making. I changed careers and am happier than I have ever been.  This was a great first step for me to find what I truly love to do.

This is an amazing book. The stories within of real people and their struggles and triumphs help inspire and empower you to find your own calling and lead you towards your own purpose. The art of work is Jeff Goins best work yet. I love how he takes you to that inner place where dreams are conceived and your spiritual essence is awakened.

I've been following Jeff since I found his blog in 2012. His authenticity and storytelling are off the charts. I'm proud to say I'm a fan. :)
