The nature of work is changing dramatically in America; the evidence is everywhere - from the collapse and bankruptcies of giant, seemingly invulnerable corporations to the endless restructuring, re-organizing and down-sizing of companies large and small, seeking to remain competitive or simply survive in the turbulent waters of the new millennium's worldwide economy.
People in virtually every profession are finding themselves cast into the job market, as the security of corporate jobs evaporates and benefits disappear. The old models of long-term commitment and loyalty to an employer, which in turn provide retirement and benefits to the faithful, are rapidly disintegrating. It is a time of change and disillusionment for many.
No More Mondays reminds us that change is inevitable, but that with every change come new opportunities, often more exciting and rewarding than those of the past. What is refreshing about this book is the focus on the positive aspects, the opportunities for greater fulfillment and improved quality of life that these changes present to those who will see them.
Dan Miller has written a highly readable book to help individuals see these opportunities and re-think their career choices - or perhaps think deeply and critically about them for the first time. No More Mondays is filled with inspiring advice, anecdotes and stories that Miller uses to get the reader to look inward, and question what it is they really want to do with their lives, from the standpoint of the work they do and the role work plays in fulfilling them personally.
Practical and immediately useful ideas practically leak out of the pages of this book on every subject from identifying the work that ignites your true passion...to the business structure your endeavor will take and the options for financing it. If you are worried about job security or if you have ever considered doing "something else" that would be more meaningful or more rewarding personally, this book is an excellent resource and a highly recommended starting point.
