We work in places, ways, and on things that were once the stuff of sci-fi flicks. Yet the reality is that most professionals are unhappy in their work.

Whether you want to reset your career, strike out on your own, or just ignite more joy in what you do, this Illuminating book shows you how to create a working life that reveals meaning while rewriting our collective future.

When we connect with something larger than ourselves, we enjoy the fruits of our labour as well as the journey - the sweat and the struggle. It's the unyielding commitment to a purpose that gives shapers their shimmer. The benefits of this shine are plentiful: enhanced well-being, more community engagement, a healthier economy, better work for all, and a more beautiful world.
