The Different Drummer: Follow your own beat to find enlivening work and lead an extraordinary life

by Marcus Dabb

Unable to accept that work was something to be endured rather than relished, Marcus spoke to hundreds of people about their engagement with their jobs & found that a rarified 1% of people managed to place themselves in roles where they could integrate their values, creativity, passion & a sense of contribution.

He came to view this minority as Different Drummers who followed their own beat and walked the path of the hero’s journey. This book outlines what is required to walk the narrow path of individuation and speaks about how doing so impacts every other aspect of one’s life.

While are innumerable social challenges are being faced today, career misalignment may well be one of the most pressing considering just how much time and energy work consumes. Isn’t it time to develop a vision for more nobility in our careers, personally and collectively?
