How to Find Fulfilling Work

　　是否覺得，最好的工作，永遠不是現在做的這一個？
　　好工作的定義，不只關乎金錢報酬，
　　還有它對心理、性格、人際關係帶來的損耗與提升。

　　許多人渴望在工作上獲得滿足感，但我們常陷於矛盾，一方面亟於追求金錢與地位，另一方面又渴望做有意義的事、發揮潛能。沒有選擇的人生固然令人難受，但如果選項多到一個臨界點，也有可能成為不可承受之重。我們太擔心自己做出會後悔的不當選擇，結果可能根本沒做出任何決定，繼續留在沒有成就感的職涯路上。

　　本書從實用且創新的觀點看工作，帶領我們走出選擇的迷宮，幫助我們克服改變的困難，找到讓自己發光發熱的工作。

　　【人生學校系列】

　　如果說人生是一所學校，
　　艾倫．狄波頓幫你找來了最好的老師，給你立即上手的建議！

　　在人生學校的課表上，你不會看到「哲學」「法文」「歷史」與「古典文學」這類科目，而是會看到「婚姻」「挑選職業」「養育子女」「財務焦慮」「死亡」及「改變世界」等課程。六本不同主題的勵志書，將為你帶來實用的建議，幫助你理清自己的情感，讓你在苦惱和困頓之時有所依憑。

　　書系主編艾倫．狄波頓這麼說：

　　在一個道德與實際生活都充滿了混亂的時代，勵志書迫切需要改頭換面重新出發。「人生學校」宣告了勵志書的重生，檢視人生的重大議題，包括金錢、理智、工作、科技，以及改善世界的欲望。

　　Find life-enhancing work and realise your potential with this enlightening read.

　　This is a book about how to take working life in new directions – how to negotiate the labyrinth of choices, how to think about personal ambitions and motivations, and ultimately how to take concrete steps to finding a fulfilling career. It is a self-help book with a difference. Standard career guides are filled with pop psychology and bullet-point advice for writing CVs and making action plans, but How to Find Fulfilling Work casts its net wider. While not ignoring the insights of psychology or the need for practical planning, it reveals wisdom about work found in sociology, history, literature, film and philosophy. It may be a false illusion that there is some perfect dream job out there for us, an ideal calling or vocation. But this book is premised on the idea that it is possible to find work that is life-enhancing. This is a book that inspires as much as it instructs and will aid self-reflection about the wider quest of how to live a good life.
