Book description
Master Powerful Ways to Find Purpose, Fulfillment, and
Greatness at Work!
Four great books show you how to find purpose, fulfillment, and
greatness at work--no matter where you work or how fast your
workplace is changing! Imagine the leaders of one of New
York’s top real-estate firms coming together every Monday
morning to hear…the moral and spiritual thoughts of a Rabbi.
Wouldn’t you like to hear the paths Alan Lurie traced for his
listeners, how he helped them bring together their spiritual and
business lives, the sacred and the profane? Five Minutes on
Mondays compiles these talks for the first time, sharing
Lurie’s deep and profound inspiration on the challenges we
all face--at work and in life. Lurie draws on millennia of
philosophy, theology, and science to help us answer our deepest
questions, comfort our deepest yearnings, and become better people:
more connected to each other and to the Greater Purpose. Next, in
Touchdown! Achieving Your Greatness on the Playing Field of
Business (and Life), Dr. Kevin Elko shows how to build your
success one brick at a time…so when it happens, it happens
huge. America’s #1 performance consultant, Elko shares all
he’s learned working with legendary athletes such as Emmitt
Smith, championship coaches like Nick Saban, and thousands of the
world’s top businesspeople. If you’re good, he’ll
make you great. If you’re great, he’ll make you the
best! Next, Four Secrets to Liking Your Work offers the
first practical, start-to-finish program for transforming your work
life: all the tools, tricks, ideas, examples, and proven research
you need to make your work life more fulfilling and joyful,
wherever you work--starting right now. Finally, in Your Job
Survival Guide: A Manual for Thriving in Change, Gregory Shea,
Ph.D., and Robert Gunther help you thrive amidst the challenges of
your permanent “whitewater world” of change at work.
Drawing on extensive research, they show how to protect your
career, improve your resilience, and rediscover play and adventure
as you “ride the workplace rapids.”
From inspirational business leaders, trainers, and authors,
including

Fisher, Erv Thomas, Gregory Shea,
