Why Do I Do This Every Day?: Finding meaning in your work

Based on the premise that our sense of fulfilment and purpose largely comes from the work we do, this book explains how it has come about that people feel detached from any such experience of work and what they can do to bring purpose and self-expression into their job - either by uncovering a sense of vocation, or by changing the way they approach and think about their current work. If your measure of success is relative to your friends, colleagues and neighbours you can never win - there will always be someone with a better salary, house, car and waistline than you. Better, instead, to have a clear and positive vision of the life you want to live rather than that foisted on you by peers, consumerism or the mother-in-law.
