Críticas:

"It's no accident that the world's happiest and most successful people all seem to have one very important thing in common--they chose a life of passion and purpose, not just a paycheck. Compassionate Careers is an intimate look into how many fascinating people have achieved the well-balanced life and how you, too, can reach the same plateau. If you want to turn your career into the vehicle you ride into an amazing future, this book is for you."
--Jeff Hoffman, cofounder of Priceline.com--Reviews

"Life's too short for you not to wholeheartedly pursue your gifts and passions. If you find the right mission and the right role within that mission, that's such a powerful thing. But Compassionate Careers also does a favor for people in that it's not candy coated. There are real tradeoffs, and it helps people think about how to navigate that path."
--Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity--Reviews

"What I see when I look into the eyes and hearts of the people who serve is joy. My invitation to you is to join them on compassionate careers."
--Archbishop Desmond Tutu--Reviews

An online assessment that identifies the type of organizational culture for which you are best suited.

An old Yaqui Indian proverb reads, "If you have a choice of paths to take in life, take the path with a heart." Compassionate Careers will show you how.
