PASSION AT WORK

The typical American spends far more time at work than anywhere else. With his new book, inspirational speaker Kang shows us how to make the most of this time, helping us find jobs that speak to our talents, priorities and?most importantly?passions.

Following the seemingly logical idea that happiness breeds achievement, Kang instructs readers to use non-financial metrics to think about their professional success. Not only does he claim that this will bring increased pleasure, but eventually financial returns as well. Centered around a series of exercises called the "Five Ps," Kang asks readers to consider their work/life balance, assess their proficiencies, set priorities and then make a plan. With a Wharton MBA and an extensive managerial background, Kang is a seasoned professional and the consummate guide to the workplace?but his experience goes far beyond the boardroom. The victim of a neural aneurysm that left him verbally challenged, in a wheelchair and blind in one eye, he knows better than anyone how important it is to make the most of life. It's this compassionate voice that makes his pragmatic advice truly come to life.

An enlightened take on success that will be particularly encouraging for those who only go to work for the paycheck.
