Self Help Book on Positive Work Attitude and Motivation in the Workplace

The Soul of Work is a self help book that can help you in achieving a positive work attitude and motivation in the workplace. Since you spend most waking hours in your workplace, a positive attitude towards your work can certainly improve your quality of life.

Finding the Right (Transcendent) Work
To stay motivated and positive, you must find the right work (transcendent work). Transcendent work is challenging, actualizing work, which gives meaning and purpose to your life, and makes it possible to look forward to working.

The "soul of work" lies in the long lasting satisfaction, which only personal growth through motivating work can provide. The short-lived joy of amusement cannot compare to the genuine fulfillment of meaningful, creative, and challenging work.

Developing a Positive Work Attitude
Why do some of us love and others hate their work? Theory and research suggest that a combination of attitude and work content result in transcendent work:

Attitude + work content = transcendent work

While you may find it difficult to transform your attitude, work content is relatively easy to change. The first step toward developing a positive work attitude is identifying the basic components of high quality work content. The Soul of Work can help you in developing a positive work attitude through transcendent work.
