“If you feel like you’ve sunk to a new mental low on the job, this book has the potential to pump you up and help you to regain your ambition.”—Rocky Mountain News
 
No matter how long you’ve been doing it or how little you think there is to learn about it, your job can become an opportunity to sharpen skills, increase pleasure, and heighten awareness. And if your work environment has been turned on its ear by technology, reorganization, and rapidly accelerating change, The Inner Game of Work offers a way to steer a confident course while navigating your way toward personal and professional goals.
 
• Change a rote performance into a rewarding one
• Work in the mobility mode rather than the conformity mode
• Overcome fear of failure, change-resistance, boredom, and stagnation
• Find a coach or become a coach (and see why that makes a difference)
 
The Inner Game of Work challenges you to reexamine your fundamental motivations for starting work in the morning and your definitions of work throughout the day, changing the way you look at work forever.
