Looks can be deceiving.  At first glance, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Do-More-Great-Work-Busywork/dp/0761156445/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1266810517&#038;sr=1-1">Do More Great Work</a></em> by Michael Bungay Stanier looks like yet another small, simple, beautifully-designed book.  Oftentimes, books of this sort lack anything new or insightful.  A few pages in, however, I realized this book was an exception.  <em>Do More Great Work</em> gets to the heart of the work each of us should aspire to do &#8212; work that makes us feel fully alive and brings us joy.  The author, who was named Canadian Coach of the Year in 2006,  walks the reader through a series of maps and questions that provide valuable career guidance.  As a result of reading this book, I made a change to my business so that I would do more <em>great</em> work and devote less time to merely <em>good</em> work.  That&#8217;s the measure of a valuable book: it changes the reader in a positive way.  I&#8217;m happy to report that <em>Do More Great Work</em> met that standard for me and, as such, I highly recommend it. </a></p>
<p>Note: There is a bonus if you buy the book by this Tuesday, February 23. Michael has an eBook <em>Be Courageous</em> (regularly $25) which he&#8217;s giving away with proof of purchase. If you&#8217;re curious, you can check it out just by sending a blank email to:<br />
