Turn That Frown Upside Down - Discover Meaning & Fulfillment in the Workplace (Paperback)


Business professionals in their twenties have more answers than they do in their thirties and forties. This Period of Answers tends to be quite effective in the short-term as men and women pursue the dangling carrot; something Nathan R Mitchell defines as The Carrot Factor. However, focusing exclusively on career advancement is A Broken Model. It doesn't work long-term, and it doesn't produce fulfillment. The problem lies not in trying to be the best we can be in the workplace, but in pursuing advancement at the expense of finding purpose and meaning in our work, and at the expense of things that are truly important. At some point careers stop producing intrinsic fulfillment, and people start looking for answers. In Turn That Frown Upside Down, you will meet a thirty-five year old disengaged mid-level manager named Matthew. Matthew has recently entered the Age of Questioning, and is desperately seeking answers to the decisions he has made, his life experiences, his personal struggles, and even his current circumstances. Join him on his journey to finding purpose, meaning and fulfillment. You will be so grateful you did
