Jeff Goins, a brilliant new voice counting Seth Godin and Jon Acuff among his fans, explains how to abandon the status quo and live a life that matters with true passion and purpose.
The path to your life’s work is difficult and risky, even scary, which is why few finish the journey. This is a book about discovering your life’s work, that treasure of immeasurable worth we all long for. It’s about the task you were born to do.
As Jeff Goins explains, the search begins with passion but does not end there. Only when our interests connect with the needs of the world do we begin living for a larger purpose. Those who experience this intersection experience something exceptional and enviable. Though it is rare, such a life is attainable by anyone brave enough to try.
Through personal experience, compelling case studies, and current research on the mysteries of motivation and talent, Jeff shows readers how to find their vocation and what to expect along the way.

I first discovered Jeff Goins from the app coach.me (formerly lift) when he hosted a #500 word every day challenge. I looked into his website and recommended his blog course for my wife. Only recently have I read his book and started the Art of Work Mastermind course for myself and I’m wondering why I waited so long. About a year ago I began a painful process of realizing that all that I had studied, trained, spent long hours and hardships for was no longer satisfying and I kept thinking that there has to be more to life. His book has been as much instructive as it has been confirmative for me.

The Art of Work by Jeff Goins is a fantastic book that both self-help book for searchers and manifesto on the importance of taking pride in one’s vocation. Whether or not you are content with your chosen career or not, this book is a must read.
One of the things that I enjoyed most about this book was its organization. Mr. Goins takes the reader through a three part process of “Preparation,” “Action,” and “Completion,” in which the chapters of each part lay out the ideas through real world vignettes, specific language, and logical arguments. While the messages build and overlap, at no time does the book feel stale or repetitive.
