Dan Miller’s insightful book 48 Days to the Work You Love isn’t a guide to finding a new job. It’s something even more valuable: a guide to determining what kind of job you truly want, and how to go out and get it.
Too many people toil away at jobs they hate, and where they’re under-appreciated. One particular sad fact is that more male suicides take place on Sunday night - right before the work week starts - than at any other time.
Most people work under the real threat of one day walking into their job and either being fired or laid off, for a whole host of reasons.
It used to be that it took decades for technology to become advanced enough to make an employee obsolete; now it takes only a few years, sometimes less.
This empowering book is designed to help you find what your true passions are. It’s a book about self-discovery.
What are your natural talents, values, and ambitions? Once you really understand who you are and by what means of spending your time will make you happy, then you can set out to find the right job - or maybe even start a business yourself.
Miller gives practical advice in the area of finding yourself, as well as finding the right job or new business idea.
Miller doesn’t adhere to the idea of company loyalty. A smart career path may mean moving from company to company, to increasingly higher levels. Moving up the ladder within one company limits your potential, as the salary and benefits are usually not nearly upward moving as they are when you move elsewhere.
While a lot of financial-advice books could easily be summed up in a chapter or two, 48 Days to the Work You Love is packed with useful information and insights.
For example, Miller cites a number of eye-opening statistics in the second half of the book, including the fact that less than 1 percent of job-hunters actually get a job by responding to an Internet ad, and that almost all managers surveyed cited “enthusiasm” as the number one thing they want to see in potential employees.
To be successful, you must do work that you love. Dan Miller's book, 48 Days to the Work You Love, shows you how to get there, in clear, interesting language – with no condescending lectures.
This book is a must-read for anyone still stuck in a dead-end 9-to-5 job, searching for inspiration, encouragement and real-world solutions.

Debt is NOT your friend. It's not a wonderful "tool" for building wealth. That's a myth.
