We have been conditioned in a society where work primarily ensures survival and grants status. Vocation is not really an aspect worth thinking about in the current world of work. And even when we have clarity about what we burn for, what we really want to do, most people seeking their calling remain in the established model.

Why do we so freely trade freedom and fulfilment for apparent security? Why have we lost our courage?

Patrizia Patz's book provides answers. It explores the feasibility between desire and reality, provides attractive possibilities to get on the track of our passions and talents and to realise a good life - with a job that also pays the bills. For this to succeed, we need a new way of thinking and a little courage to leave the pre-drawn mainstream career path and expand our own comfort zone.

The first steps are simple: get clear about what you like to do and what you are passionate about. Free yourself from expectations that you should live up to. Take courage and trust in the creative power that lies

dormant within you.
