Nick Williams. The Business You Were Born To Create: How to make your living doing the work you were born for

Serial inspirer Nick Williams’ new book The Business You Were Born To Create is a must read for those who are curious about the connection between spirituality and strengths.

Some might say it is even more of a must read for those who aren't …

Comfortable with the spiritual dynamic or not, there is a lot we can all borrow from this book. 

 

  • Work as your love made visible
  • Following your joy, instead of chasing success
  • Replacing the ideas of success and failure with that of experience

Plus:

  • A fascinating and concise history of work from the 1550s (really) to the current day (tracing the gradual shift away from the idea of jobs and careers towards an appreciation of work as an authentic creative expression)
  • Lots of practical exercises, clever questions and thought provoking threads

Imagine having access to the collective wisdom and strengths of Aristotle, Anita Roddick and Paulho Coelho …
