The Career Clinic is June eBook of the Month

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 28 May 2009—Since the Baby Boom generation, we have been raised with a sense that self-fulfillment is one of our inalienable rights—yet most of us probably do not love our work. As the longtime host of a radio show devoted to helping people find careers they love, Maureen Anderson has often invited listeners in to hear firsthand accounts of people who not only relish their work, but live without regret.

The Career Clinic: Eight Simple Rules for Finding Work You Love by Maureen Anderson (AMACOM 2008) collects intimate and revealing first-hand accounts of people who have made the leap from the 9-to-5 doldrums into jobs that leave them feeling happy, satisfied, and filled with the sense of contentment that comes from knowing they're doing what they were put on this earth to do.

From a fashion designer who became a psychotherapist, to a husband and wife who followed their dream to open a bookstore, The Career Clinic offers practical guidance on how anyone can begin a love affair with their career…even if the path doesn't seem easy. As Anderson puts it, "It's one thing to say yes to a dream. That's easy. It's saying yes over and over, when the world is saying no, that will take you where to go." In The Career Clinic, Anderson shares motivation from her own life as well as that of filmmakers and cowboys, musicians and innkeepers, and others who have successfully found their place in the world, including a social worker who changed course to become a computer consultant, and even some well-known figures such as humorist Dave Barry, who didn't originally set out to be a columnist.

Filled with warm-hearted advice and practical encouragement, The Career Clinic urges readers to follow their instincts, get in touch with what gives them joy, and discover a way to make their greatest talents and interests a part of what they might come to only grudgingly refer to as "work."

Provided through the generous support of AMACOM Books, The Career Clinic will be available through more than 17,000 participating libraries June 1-30.
