Advice abounds on how to dress for success, write a killer resume, or land the next monster job. But Is Your Genius at Work takes traditional career planning to a new frontier as it brings the 'technology of the spirit' to the workplace, giving voice to how ordinary people can make profound life changes and achieve extraordinary personal and career fulfillment. Drawing from the wisdom of modern sages, ancient philosophy, spiritual traditions, and 20 years of research and study, Dick Richards has crafted a journey of self-discovery to uncover and recognize the one core quality that fuels our soul and drives our success: our true genius. As ancient as the Greeks, as trendy as New Age, the concept of genius is fully grounded to contemporary life through dozens of inspiring stories of people who have realized the transformative power of this simple yet life-changing process. With plenty of practical strategies and hands-on exercises, Is Your Genius at Work explores four important questions to help career-seekers everywhere define and give name to their genius, uncover the secrets to their life's purpose, and chart a career path to bring their genius alive through their life and work: What is your genius Is your genius at work What is your purpose Is your genius on purpose
