48 Days to the Work You Love: Preparing for the New Normal
Author: Dan Miller
Sonya’s Review: Ok, so this was one of the very first books I ‘read’… A really long time ago 🙂
One of the things I like about this book is it gives you an action plan to do as you read it. One of the things that we often don’t do is take action after reading the book. This book makes it easy for you to do.
The title says it all ’48 Days To The Work You Love’, it gives you 1 step a day over 48 days to identify the work you would love to do. This may be employment or it may be starting a business.
I have read this book many times and still find something new in it each time I read it…
Once again, this book is a MUST read type of book 🙂

Publisher’s Summary
In 2009, the U.S. unemployment rate approached ten percent. Today, when new work is found, it may not be traditional. Studies estimate half of the American workforce will soon consist of freelancers, consultants, independent contractors, entrepreneurs, “electronic immigrants”, and so forth.
Are you ready for the new normal? Dan Miller has seen it coming for years. But his thriving vocational best seller, 48 Days to the Work You Love, is not so much about finding a new job as it is learning about who we are really called to be in relation to our vocation – whatever shape that career may take in these changing times.
According to the author, failing to make that fundamental discovery of calling is why so many people find themselves in jobs they hate. But now, thousands upon thousands are finding the work they love, thanks to practical advice from this leading career counselor.
Conversational and creative, Miller helps the reader understand one’s God-given skills and abilities, personality traits, values, dreams, and passions. Doing so helps us recognize clear patterns that will point toward successful decisions along the career path. Step by step, this updated edition of 48 Days to the Work You Love reveals the process for creating a Life Plan and translating that plan into meaningful and fulfilling daily work. Let the countdown begin!
