Your Guide To Right Working And Right Living

Mind Your Own Career provides a philosophy and some practical techniques for exploring, discovering, inventing and creating stellar inner and outer experiences, both for working and for living. The guide is organized into five main sections:

Minding Your Own Career presents the two guiding principles for Right Working and Right Living. These two principles address the most common desires you may have with respect to your work. First, you may want to earn as much money as you can with as little work as possible. Second, you may want to work as effectively as possible, so you are as free and capable as possible to experience your non-working life. You can satisfy these two common desires by adopting two basic principles. First, you must live a philosophy that keeps work and money in perspective. Second, you must discover, invent or create work that is balanced and integrated with a full inner and outer life.
Working on the Inside considers how your inner experience influences, and is influenced by, your life at work. You can improve your inner experience of work by practicing consideration of the possibilities, keeping a clear focus on where you are and where you want to be, accepting what is and what comes, and always thinking clearly and deliberately.
Choosing Your Way shows that your ability to make confident, timely and appropriate choices determines how easily and effectively you maintain control of your work circumstances including the direction and pace of your career growth, and presents a comprehensive view of what’s involved when you make choices. You make the best choices at work when you choose with all cylinders firing.
Living with Your Work explores your outer experience of your life at work. You can make the most of your outer experience of work by knowing what to say as well as when and how to say it, knowing what to do as well as when and how to do it, doing what is necessary and sufficient to pay your way in the world and doing what you can to contribute to and improve your own and others’ experience of life and work.
Making It Work for You reiterates that your work is a natural part of who you are. You bring your purpose, integrity, values and needs to your work, and can deliberately create work habits that protect yourself while creating results that are meaningful for you.
