Synopsis:
In this unique and provocative look at work, career counselor Rick Jarow
argues for a return to the concept of vocation finding a "calling"
instead of a job. He believes that it is possible to live and act from the
most authentic part of oursleves, and to express our strongest values, energies,
and talents through our work in the world. Concentrating on the attributes
associated with each of the body's energy centers, or chakras, Dr. Jarow
helps us form a bridge between our personal priorities and the external
activities of the work world. Once this bridge is established, strategies
are developed to find a career that nourishes all aspects of our lives.
Traditional career guides inventory the individual skills, talents, and abilities that correlate to specific existing jobs. Creating the Work You Love presents a unique alternative approach, using self-reflective exercises based on the seven chakras, to help you determine the elements you need to create a life filled with meaning and purpose.
