A timely and important book that speaks to the longing in people's hearts for meaning in their lives!







There are few gifts in life of greater value than the opportunity to earn a living doing what you love to do -- indeed, doing what you were constitutionally and spiritually designed to do. One can hardly call such an activity work. Words like joy, purpose, and fun may be more accurate and appropriate. Unfortunately, too few of us have been shown how to find our soul's purpose, our own unique calling.







As we enter 2010, the world situation is disorienting. People of all ages are finding themselves having to take stock. Questions abound from young people: "Where is my place in this world, and how can I be of service?" And from the middle aged: "How can my life have more meaning?" And from the elders: "What will be my legacy?"







Why Not Do What You Love? is both a question and a compassionate exhortation to all those pondering how to make their life and work matter--certainly to themselves, and to those around them. Assuming that it is never too late to do more of what you love, this book offers an encouraging balance of questions, reflections, real-life examples and get-on-with-it guidance for those who want their gifts and talents to be the foundation of all that they do.







If you have ever dreamed of being paid to do what you love, if you have ever yearned to use your talents to help make a better world, you will find support in this book. It can deliver on its promise - to bring you to the place inside yourself where mysterious powers lay waiting to be discovered, powers that can help you create the life you have always dreamed of living.







Author Martha Johnson, for 30 years an organizational consultant, management trainer, and executive coach, is a rare being who not only discovered her life's calling, but somehow found a map that could help others find their own. This book, Why Not Do What Your Love? updated in a third printing in 2014, is that map.
