{"product_id":"the-sense-of-vocation-larry-cochran-9780791402450","title":"The Sense of Vocation: A Study of Career and Life Development","description":"Larry Cochran examines the meaning of a sense of vocation as it is lived over the course of a life. By studying more than twenty autobiographies of people who clearly had a mission in life, the author identifies commonalities and weaves them into a general story or plot. The common story involves a detailed description of four phases of life from childhood through old age. It illustrates how a significant form that unifies desire arises in youth, how individuals transform themselves to adopt a meaningful role in a drama, how a work of life develops, and how a sense of vocation culminates. Thus, the book is important as a descriptive answer to the question of what makes life meaningful. It provides a paradigm case of career at its best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Cochran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791402452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791402450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs","brand":"Larry Cochran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072770437375,"sku":"9780791402450","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62da240a-8fc4-4e0e-92c6-0bd191526513.jpg?v=1685443883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sense-of-vocation-larry-cochran-9780791402450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
