Love + Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life

n nFor the past twenty-five years New York Times bestselling author Marcus Buckingham has been the world's leading researcher into strengths, human performance, and the future of how people work. In Love + Work, he helps us discover where we are at our best--both at work and in life.n nYou've long been told to Do what you love. Sounds simple, but the real challenge is how to do this in a world not set up to help you. Most of us actually don't know the real truth of what we love--what engages us and makes us thrive--and our workplaces, jobs, schools, even our parents, are focused instead on making us conform. Sadly, no person or system is dedicated to discovering the crucial intersection between what you love to do and how you contribute it to others.n nIn this eye-opening, uplifting book, Buckingham shows you how to break free from this conformity--how to decode your own loves, turn them into their most powerful expression, and do the same for those you lead and those you love.n nHow can you use love to reveal your unique gifts?n nHow can you pinpoint what makes you stand out from anyone else?n nHow can you choose roles in which you'll excel?n nLove + Work unlocks answers to these questions and others, so you can: n n- Choose the right role on the team. n- Describe yourself compellingly in job interviews. n- Mold your existing role so that it calls upon the very best of you. n- Position yourself as a leader in such a way that your followers quickly come to trust in you. n- Make lasting change for your team, your company, your family, or your students. nn nLove, the most powerful of human emotions, the source of all creativity, collaboration, insight, and excellence, has been systematically drained from our lives--our work, teams, and classrooms.n nIt's time we brought love back in.n nLove + Work shows you how.n
