This book is for everyone who needs a little inspiration and wisdom along the path of life. If you are a student, a graduate, a shop assistant or a senior manager. If you have just been made redundant, just retired or are a mother of three with a mortgage (and can't remember the last time you had any time to yourself). If you are in a dead-end job and life only exists between Friday night and Monday morning. This book is for you. The bad news is very few of us get to do what we want in life. 'Life and work', or in most cases 'work and life', get in the way. Most (but not all) of us hate Mondays, long for Fridays and, as the years go by, slowly commute our way to retirement or death, whichever comes first. The good news is it doesn't have to be that way. This book is all about how to make the most of life's opportunities. Life is a one-way journey make it an interesting one.

He shared with them a set of guidelines that have helped him find meaning in his own life, which led to this now-classic article.

Since 1922, Harvard Business Review has been a leading source of breakthrough ideas in management practice. The Harvard Business Review Classics series now offers you the opportunity to make these seminal pieces a part of your permanent management library.

"Gilda, a twenty-something, atheist, animal-loving lesbian, cannot stop ruminating about death. Desperate for relief from her panicky mind and alienated from her repressive family, she responds to a flyer for free therapy at a local Catholic church, and finds herself being greeted by Father Jeff, who assumes she's there for a job interview. Too embarrassed to correct him, Gilda is abruptly hired to replace the recently deceased receptionist Grace. In between trying to memorize the lines to Catholic mass, hiding the fact that she has a new girlfriend, and erecting a dirty dish tower in her crumbling apartment, Gilda strikes up an email correspondence with Grace's old friend. She can't bear to ignore the kindly old woman, who has been trying to reach her friend through the church inbox, but she also can't bring herself to break the bad news. Desperate, she begins impersonating Grace via email. But when the police discover suspicious circumstances surrounding Grace's death, Gilda may have to finally reveal the truth of her mortifying existence."--Amazon.
