Many never find happiness at work. Will you? 
Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation.

In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work-and in life-should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose. 
In this book, the author explores:How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at workWhat it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasureHow we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it 
What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?

Rare Recording of Charles...

Charles Lindbergh

Hear a rare recording from 1939 of Charles A. Lindbergh speaking out against American involvement in Foreign Wars. He states that the Americans should not be asked to fight in foreign countries, but to focus on defense of the United States. Among other things, Lindbergh says: "The doctrine that we must enter the wars of Europe, in order to defend America, will be fatal to our Nation, if we follow it. When men are called upon to fight, and to die, for their country, there must not be even the remotest question of foreign influence." involved." He states that Americans have no confidence in decisions of their leaders. He talks about the high number of aircraft and war material manufactured to fight in European countries. And he likens the current spending for armaments to the National debt.

Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 – August 26, 1974), was an American aviator, author, inventor, military officer, explorer, and social activist. As a 25-year-old U.S. Air Mail pilot, Lindbergh emerged suddenly from virtual obscurity to instantaneous world fame as the result of his Orteig Prize-winning solo nonstop flight on May 20–21, 1927, made from the Roosevelt Field[N 1] in Garden City on New York's Long Island to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France, a distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km), in the single-seat, single-engine, purpose-built Ryan monoplane Spirit of St. Louis. As a result of this flight, Lindbergh was the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next. The record setting flight took 33 hours and 30 minutes. Lindbergh, a U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve officer, was also awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic exploit.
