Career Contentment--Don't Settle for Anything Less
Published by ASTD, this best-selling book reveals how to have and enjoy your best career despite circumstances that employers can't always make satisfying. The secret to career fulfillment is deceptively simpleāit's not about getting more, but learning how to appreciate what you already have as you continue to work towards what you desire. Experts in medicine, psychology and career say this new topic has been overlooked as your source of emotional resilience and self-motivation, and should birth a revolution in the workplace. This is a must read if you would like to learn how to retain workers and keep them productive despite reductions to budgets used to make them satisfied and engaged.
