Synopsis

In a guide for college graduates and young professionals, Stephen B. Sloane insists that there is much more to life than just being employed. You are not destined only to be part of the working masses, a mere cog in an organizational wheel. Although having a job might bring you financial security, it likely won’t be enough to satisfy the true desires of the real you. Life should be a journey, a work in progress where you discover your authentic self and follow that bliss.

As Sloane examines the disconnect between the working world’s demands and individual happiness, he shares the wisdom of some of history’s greatest thinkers. From Aristotle to Shakespeare to Tolstoy, the voices of the past urge that, above all, “To thine own self be true.”

Sloane insists that the road to contentment and fulfillment isn’t paved with money or titles. You continually pave this road as you journey toward finding and satisfying your true self.
