No More Mondays: Fire Yourself -- and Other Revolutionary Ways to Discover Your True Calling at Work
by Dan Miller is an enthusiastic "how to" manual for those who are ready to live out their passion as their income producer. Early on Dan declares that, "Every day, millions of people rush to get to jobs they don't love and then go home to lives that are equally empty and boring. And yet those people defend their choices as responsible, practical, and realistic." He then asks, "How can it be responsible to live lives devoid of meaning, joy, and purpose?" Through the rest of the book Dan teaches why we should find our calling instead of being imprisoned by a J-O-B and how we can live out that calling successfully. With practical advice, vivid illustrations from real life success stories, and some revolutionary thinking the "No More Mondays" philosophy is effectively laid out. This book is filled with Dan Miller's infectious "can do" attitude and can give you that needed kick in the pants to finding and doing what you were created to do.
I thought this little list of excuses that Dan quoted from Craig Boldman's Every Excuse in the Book
was quite interesting.- I got severe tire damage on the Road Less Traveled
- I learned the wrong 7 Habits.
- The Chicken Soup for My Soul was contaminated with E. coli.
- Someone slipped me some bad affirmations.
- I'm one of those good people bad things happen to.
- There's no evidence of wrongdoing on my part.
- My Inner Child made me do it.
To the FTC and whomever else it may concern, I borrowed this book from my local library and have not been, in any way, encouraged to write a review, either positive or negative.
