Finding one’sIn this honest and compelling meditation, Parker Palmer reflects upon vocation, spirit, and the life journey with a depth of insight that will touch anyone who yearns for an authentic way of standing and serving in the world. Finding one’s calling is not just about finding something we can do–it is about finding what we can’tnotdo.”Let your life speak” is a time-honored Quaker admonition to live one’s life as witness to the deepest truths one knows. But as Palmer explains, those words can also mean “listen to your life, and let it tell you what your truth is.” Vocation, he writes, comes not from external demands but from listening to the “true self,” a listening that will always call us into some form of service to others.
As Palmer’s many readers know, his writing has always been grounded in his own life experience; here he speaks even more vulnerably of his own times of being lost in the dark–as well as moments of stumbling into the light–in his own quest for vocation. Though the details of his journey are singular, he draws from it that which is universal. The result is a moving and illuminating book for anyone who seeks not just a job but a calling and companionship along the way.

And for those who have decided to step away from the corporate world, whether it’s for one year or twenty, Gefsky and Delo show you how to stay current and how to pivot to something more meaningful when your old job doesn’t exist anymore or if you simply want a change. Your Turn provides a clear roadmap for how to navigate key work + life transition points.
Your Turn features stories and research from the members of Apres as well as insights from hundreds of companies that are making the transition work for their employees. With a unique insight into what kinds of work cultures and structures to look for, Gefsky and Delo also offer companies tangible steps to retain and cultivate female talent.

professionals today facing uncertainty. They are swimming in waters jarred by sudden waves of downsizing,
management shakeups, company mergers, dried-up funding, scandals, and probably a shark or two. The experiences
of Titanic survivors, Craddock shows, offer lessons for a transformative workplace approach, one that recognizes that
“every man for himself” does not work long-term. Craddock illustrates how the skills people need to survive and
thrive are those that help them transition from the self-help mindset to an us-help way of looking at the world. Lifeboat
is organized as a series of key questions to ask when facing a difficult situation of extreme change or when things just
don’t feel right at work. The questions help readers articulate their authentic priorities, assess the group energy in their
workplace, and identify the type of environment that would enable them to actualize their true potential. Most people
are eager to do good work, collaborate with others, and participate in a professional culture that stands for something
meaningful. Lifeboat helps them realize that goal, even in the midst of turbulent times. -

Award-winning author, researcher, and analyst Farai Chideya offers a practical guide to the ways in which work in America is changing and how you can navigate today’s volatile job market.
Since the Great Recession of 2007-2009, America’s work landscape has changed dramatically. Many people experienced long-term unemployment that eroded their savings, and the globalized economy means that not just jobs but entire career tracks are created and destroyed in front of our eyes. We’re living in an age of rapid disruption where we can barely adjust to one new reality before a new new reality comes along.
So how are we supposed to live a rewarding life–working fulfilling, stable jobs that cover our monthly expenses–in such a chaotic economy?
In The Episodic Career, Farai Chideya explores the landscape of employment in America. Profiling the rich, the poor, and people from every strata in between, Chideya seeks to understand the many kinds of work we do–not just job fields, but whether we seek to build institutions or seek social change while earning money. In addition, Chideya provides a self-diagnostic tool to help you find your work/life “sweet spot.” You’ll see how different types of people have navigated their careers and forged their own paths even in times of hardship. As a young reporter at Newsweek, CNN, and ABC, Chideya realized that her working-class Baltimore childhood and factors like Ivy League education affected how people viewed her, and she takes a frank look at stereotypes, employment discrimination, and how to create healthy workplaces. Ultimately, she asks how we as a country can sustain the American Dream.
Knowledge of the workplace is power over your career. The Episodic Career provides the big-picture vision of the world economy, as well as the particulars of salary, family, health, and lifestyle that you need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
