Work Reimagined: Uncover Your Calling

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Work Reimagined (ISBN-13: 978-1-62656-558-6), a concept initiated and developed by Life Reimagined, shows how career paths look nothing like they did in the days before phones got smart. People work more hours at more jobs for more years than ever. It is vital to understand how to find work that allows people to remain true to their deepest sense of who they are and that connects them to something larger than themselves—in short, their "calling." Bestselling authors Richard Leider and David Shapiro can help readers uncover it.

Through a unique Calling Card exercise that features a guided exploration of fifty two "natural preferences" (such as Advancing Ideas, Doing the Numbers, Building Relationships, and Performing Events), Leider and Shapiro offer a new way to uncover gifts, passions, and values and find work that expresses them. Along the way they mix in dozens of inspiring stories featuring people who have found, or are in the process of finding, their own callings.

Uncovering life's calling best enables people to experience fulfillment in all phases of life. Leider and Shapiro highlight how when people choose to do what they are called to do, they are always doing what they want to do. Work Reimagined offers readers an enlightening, effective, and entertaining approach to discovering what they were born to do, no matter what age or stage of life they are in.
