A Life at Work: The Joy of Discovering What You Were Born to Do Audiobook

" A must read for anyone trying to figure out what to do. "

" The most readable of Thomas Moore's books I have read so far. "

" Not sure that this book offers anything profound. I like Thomas Moore, but have not really been moved by anything in this book. Could be because I'm listening to it rather than reading... "

" I didn't finish this book. It wasn't because I didn't enjoy it or find it helpful, I just have been in a reading slump for a while. Getting back on here I hope will inspire me to get back to my reading!! "

" Everyone should read this. We all need to know our daimons from our demons and this little book can show you how to begin... "

" I'd already read one of Thomas Moore's books before reading this one. I think this book would've been the better book to start with. Although it focuses on work--both in the sense of your daily job and of your life's Work--it also covers topics Moore probably makes in all his books. There was a bit on the soul, on the spirit, on love and sex, on being open to experience and to foolishness. Since this is a skinny book, he doesn't go into any of these topics all that deeply, making it a good introduction. But if you've read his other books, you suspect there isn't much new here except for how to apply all this to work. So I'd say this was enjoyable, but not a must-read even if you're a fan of Moore's. "

" Easier to digest (for me) than Care of the Soul; practical and spiritual. "

" I loved the description of "Duende".. Living our passion "

" I like this kind of thought-provoking stuff about the psychology of our motivations. "

" A fairly mystical take on how to find meaning in work. Though I didn't read the whole book and can't speak conclusively, I won't be recommending this one. "

" I didn't realize this was a self-help book. It was handed to me with a strong recommendation or I never would have even opened it. Well, sadly, I still really don't like self-help books, and this one was no exception. "

" Another great book by Thomas Moore, this one on the importance of discovering work that you can be passionate about. "

" My husband and I are listening to this book on CD. It gives an excellent spiritual perspective on our work. This book is bringing us peace with regard to our professional lives. "

" This book is not an easy read, but one you read a chapter or two and then work it out in your mind for a while--much like the alchemist process he uses as a foundation for the book. "

" I enjoyed reading this book about finding your 'life work'. There are numerous prompts for deeper thinking about what you are doing, what you think you'd like to do, and how everything you do ties together in the end. "

" I suspect that, in order to enjoy this book, you'd need to be an intuitive, rather than a sensing type. A fondness for Jung would probably also help this book seem more meaningful. "

" Talks extensively about the labels for the qualities that a satisfying and fulfilling job would have, but gives little help in getting there. "

" Moore's great; easy to read and wise. This book will not tell you how to update your resume, or crush that interview. It will provide at least a framework for thinking about work, your work, and how to shape your life. "

" Not as good as his other book I read - The Dark Night of the Soul. Interesting but not particularly helpful for me personally to be honest. It is well written but the content was vague and not what you think it is from the title. "

" There were some good things about this book- but it was mostly depressing. Especially if your a person like me who hops from one soul sucking job to another to pay bills. Its just a recap of how much my life sucks. "

" I thought you had to wade through a lot of psycho-spiritual talk to get to the point. But the book has some good points about working to discern call in life. "

" Loved this book. Want to read everything he wrote. Inspiring to read and a pleasure as well - he's a good writer. Really spoke to me. "
