Step-by-step tips for revitalizing your career

Yes, it is possible to have a job you love, and it doesn't require starting from scratch. Love Your Job is a guide to making work fulfilling and fun — again, or even for the first time. Why count down the hours of the day or the days to retirement when you could reinvigorate your workday, transforming the daily doldrums into a daily dose of enjoyable activity? Kerry Hannon, The New York Times columnist and AARP's Jobs Expert, focuses on the little things that can make a big difference in how we feel about work.

Love Your Job is all about the routines, habits, and thought patterns that, over the years, may have turned a dream job into a drudge or, worse, a nightmare. Changing these habits and attitudes is simple, and this book shows you how to identify the little things that make work enjoyable and engaging. Using these simple techniques, you can adopt the attitude that will keep you happy and that might just lead to bigger and better things, no matter what stage of your career you are in. In this book, you will learn to:

  • Develop new habits that bring more purpose into every single workday
  • Rekindle your hope and motivation by celebrating small successes
  • Recognize negative patterns that keep you from enjoying your job
  • Craft an entrepreneurial attitude that will get you noticed and enrich your work life
  • We all deserve to experience happiness and satisfaction every day, at every stage of our careers. Kerry Hannon explains that you don't have to make a huge career transition to love work again. But if you reinvent the way you see work, who knows where your new outlook will lead? Wake up to the countless possibilities that await you with Love Your Job.

        AARP jobs expert and best-selling author Hannon (Great Jobs for Everyone 50+) has written a no-nonsense guide for creating lasting job satisfaction and meaningful job fulfillment. According to a 2014 report on worker satisfaction conducted by the business research group Conference Board, 50 percent of U.S. workers are dissatisfied with their jobs. The recent recession and sluggish recovery have made many reluctant to consider other options, adding to their feeling of "being stuck." Hannon confronts that feeling head-on with tools that can help readers to reinvigorate any job by analyzing their position and career goals and recasting beliefs, behaviors, and actions. Having accumulated a wealth of stories from interviewing people in various jobs and careers, Hannon uses these anecdotes to engage the reader and illustrate the suggested strategies and tools. VERDICT Succinct, practical, and motivating, Hannon's well-researched guide for career happiness is full of realistic strategies for making any job more engaging. An extensive list of additional current resources is included.--Jane Scott, Clark Lib., Univ. of Portland, OR
