Perception of work plays a crucial role in how one experiences their job.

To me, work is not only a worldly pursuit but also a spiritual one.

Yes—you and I must work. To pay our bills and to fulfill our responsibilities. And our work is not always fun. Sometimes it’s drudgery and difficulty.

Yet, I want to humbly and gently remind you that your work—whether you love it or hate it—has nobility within it.

There are a lot of people saying that we shouldn’t make work our obsession. On this, I agree and for years and years I’ve been sharing the message that peak performance without deep renewal leads to an empty well (and a miserable life).

This is what my new book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.
