6,000,000 Minutes on the Clock: Working for Means AND Meaning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997868203)

Mark Twain said "Work consists of what you have to do. Play consists of what you want to do." In other words, you should do work you want to do. 6,000,000 Minutes on the Clock gives you the chance to discover work you want to do, work that will feel like play. It's the best chance to be successful and happy in your work. Work should provide more than means. It should provide meaning, too.

The average person will spend over 6,000,000 minutes at work before they retire. For almost everyone, work is the largest and often their only source of income. Making a poor career choice means doing work you don't like or for which you're underskilled. A poor career choice means you won't be very good at your work, which means you won't be well paid. Doing poor quality work for low pay is guaranteed to make you unhappy. Other than your choice of spouse, your choice of career has the greatest impact on your future success and happiness. No one should spend so much time feeling like an unhappy failure.
