A second edition, updated by popular demand. In this clear and no-nonsense workbook, the author zeroes in on signs that passion is lacking in your life, and - specifically - what to do about it. Relating her experience, she discusses the energy-sapping trap of attempting to conform, particularly when your personal identity is entwined with "work". After reading Jo's personal life story, you are bound to relate to the search for fulfilling work, no matter what your current life situation is.

But it's not just a story; it's a toolbox to help you know yourself better. Only then can you identify what it takes for your life to be lived more passionately. The author focuses on twenty crucial, nitty-gritty, probing personal questions. Your honest answers will lead you unfailingly toward your ideal life. For each tip, she includes individualized soul-searching tasks for you to do, which will challenge and enlarge your comfort zone so that concrete changes toward passionate working and living are within reach.

You will discover the buzz that ongoing and evolving creativity brings throughout your life, and why enjoyment should always be high on your list of priorities.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Knowing this is crucial to finding a good fit with work. The book's method of identifying this may surprise you.

If you are a chronic "yes, but..."- kind of person, read the section on "Maintaining a Passion-Based Career When You Need the Money". This alone makes the book a must-read. It will be the turning point in how you think about yourself and your life's potential.

The book provides inspiring case studies from men and women from different backgrounds, professions, and countries who have happily transitioned to more satisfying lives. Contact information and references from each case are included.
