Description: "In Any Economy, It Pays to Discover Your Calling. According to financial expert Dave Ramsey, "Few categories of our lives define us and grow us spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and as people. Our work is one of those defining areas. Sadly, a 'j-o-b' is what most people settle for. But as Dan Miller so powerfully points out in 48 Days to the Work You Love, a calling lights up your life." As a leading vocational thinker, New York Times best-selling author Dan Miller helps you better understand and organize your God-given skills, personality traits, values, dreams, and passions. In turn, you'll see clear patterns form that point you toward successful career decisions. Packed with modern insight and timeless wisdom, here is a step-by-step process for creating a Life Plan and translating it into meaningful, satisfying daily work. This revised edition includes Miller's updated "Your 48 Days Schedule" and smart ideas for thriving in today's changing workforce. There are also fresh tips on career search and resume tools, interview skills, negotiating salaries, and more."--Publisher's website

Guides people working in jobs they hate on how to make successful career decisions by creating a compass from their natural skills and abilities, personality traits, values, dreams, and passions, directing them to a more fulfilling vocation.

Miller helps you better understand and organize your God-given skills, personality traits, values, dreams, and passions. In turn, you'll see clear patterns form that point you toward successful career decisions. By having a clear sense of how God has gifted you, and by seeing what you do during the week as a form of worship, you'll develop a clearer focus of the opportunities that are presented to you.
