THE WORK My Search for a Life That Matters

The humble Rhodes Scholar and former Army captain, a frequent world events commentator on cable news TV, narrates his second memoir/essay with sincerity and a bit of self-consciousness regarding his diction. It's a moving performance, nonetheless, because of his engagement with his own and others' early career stories, which are compelling. The point he makes is that the work we choose is ultimately more helpful to the world if we pay attention to what we feel strongly about, rather than what we think the world needs. With the author's compassionate observations and understated advice leading the way, this is a high-impact audiobook for anyone whose life work is beginning or who is in the midst of a transition.
