A practical and inspiring guide to meaningful work
Brent M. Jones has taken the ideas from his original Human Factor book and expanded them into something even more powerful. This updated edition doesn’t just talk about finding a job — it’s about understanding yourself, clarifying your values, and creating work that aligns with your purpose.
What I appreciated most is the clear framework: Discover → Clarify → Create. It makes the book easy to follow, and each step is filled with examples, reflective questions, and practical insights that I could immediately apply to my own career and life.
Unlike many career books that focus only on résumés and interviews, this one goes deeper. Jones reminds us that meaningful work begins with knowing yourself. Whether you’re a recent graduate, mid-career professional, or someone reinventing yourself later in life, this book offers timeless guidance.
Highly recommended if you want more than just a job — if you want work that actually matters.
