About the Soulful Work Project

This project is over ten years in the making. What I hope it achieves is a long-time dream to completely rethink what it means to work. So much of what we experience are the negatives of working: bad jobs, long commutes, low pay. Add to it the anxiety of layoffs, reduced hours, higher insurance premiums…no wonder we all think we hate work.

But what if there's another way, a different path we can take? One that actually allows us to reach toward fulfilling our own sense of purpose in life?

This project and website is a prelude to the book that I'm writing. Think of it as a laboratory where we all can experiment together. If you're tired of just doing a job and want to create work that is meaningful, I hope you'll be a part of the community here.
