About this ebook
Many young people today are seeking something more—purpose, meaning, a cause.
Compassionate Careers is filled with examples of people who have meaningful jobs in cause-focused organizations. These stories capture their spirit, intelligence, imagination, and heart. The book is an inspirational guide to finding purpose-driven work and offers advice to anyone who feels that sitting on the sidelines is just not enough. It includes:
Stories from people of all walks of life who have jobs that make a difference, including Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall, and Dave Matthews.
Information on how to get started in a cause-focused career.
An online assessment that identifies the type of organizational culture for which you are best suited.
Exercises and resources for hands-on exploration of compassionate career opportunities.
An old Yaqui Indian proverb reads, “If you have a choice of paths to take in life, take the path with a heart." Compassionate Careers will show you how.
