A livelihood visionary!
This is a wonderful book. Think of it as a sequel to the fun and insightful Temp: How to Survive and Thrive in the World of Temporary Employment.

To Deborahann, work is more than something we have to do. It's a spiritual path. Meaning and honor can be found in any task, however small.

In this book, Deborahann moves beyond the focus of Temp (intended for temps, mostly young office workers). This book tackles the subject of the working world at large and can by applied by everyone from entry level to CEO, in every field from freelance writing to construction to computer programming.

She herself has mostly worked at writing, editing, design, and office jobs -- with the occasional interesting detour into assignments like interviewing murderers inside a Colorado county jail. To add to her own (always hilarious) treasure trove of personal anecdotes, she has spoken with hundreds of people trying to eke out a living in hundreds of fields, and compiled a unique collection of their insights.

She tackles subjects from Networking, to Unusual Ways to the Top, to Perspectives on Freedom, to Money, to Overcoming WORKER's block -- to the ever-important how to get out of the Job From Hell. I highly recommend this book!
