About the author

I began my professional life as a first-grade teacher, and quickly fell in love with the whole wide world of learning -- particularly learning how to learn, and how to love learning. Our favorite authors must share that love. My published biographical notes show that I moved through the ranks of public instruction- including administration, curriculum design, and more--, then followed the Divine prompt to start my own leadership firm -- mostly for the private sector, Fortune 500 types. I still serve in an advisory, ombudsman-"sounding board" fashion, still love that work, sensing that, in a way, we're somehow all just kids at heart, living in a lesson world, and learning our greater strengths, capacities, wisdom every day.

Writing developed as I matured. As did my pen-and-ink art, etchings, graphics and such. Although I have a good formal education, it's clear that when we love what we do -- be it parenting, truck driving, technology, theology, crafts, or cooking -- we'll learn what we need in surprising, often self-governing, intuitive ways. The older I get, the more I trust that "small, still voice" within to guide my own learning-- academic or otherwise.

One of my favorite self-help books!

To Build the Life You Want, Create the Work You Love by Marsha Sinetar was positive and insightful.

The book gave excellent takeaways for steps to building the life you want.

An exceptionally impactful quote, in my opinion, is, "Carve out a new path; take action for improved directions. Let go of the rest."

Inspirational book for me starting my business after my own spiritual awakening and calling to serve as a spiritual mentor in mental health. Though some parts got repetitive and wordy, I enjoyed the real life stories and authors notes on advice on what he found along his research of other successful spiritual entrepreneurs. It contains timeless wisdom!

The first time I read about zen in jobs. I recommend the other book of the writer , DO what you love money comes

[Barry Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Follow-up book to Do What You Love. This book is composed of seven chapters, each describing one of the characteristics of the successful entrepreneur. Helpful exercises at the end of each chapter and numerous real-life examples make this a very practical book if you are considering self-employment. Includes a vocational version of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy citing “work as gift of self.”

There really is no substitute for doing, although books like this are okay and probably do help people.
