Is Your Job Making You “Stupid”?

Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, once wrote that a person who spends his life performing the same repetitive tasks “generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become.” Wow! Now that’s not a pretty picture. Unfortunately, much of our work today consists of those boring, repetitive tasks.

But maybe you’re one of the many who have gotten caught up in thinking work is just something you do to support your weekends. Work is that necessary evil, a means to an end, or just a curse from God. You probably take your role of providing for yourself and those depending on you seriously. But you don’t expect to enjoy your work—you just do what has to be done.

Only now you’re seeing that even loyalty and dependability bring no guarantees. Lately you’ve seen coworkers who have been let go after years of faithful service. Perhaps your entire industryhas been shaken by outsourcing or changing technology. Maybe you’re tired of the long commute and being tied to your desk when you know you could make your own hours and still be productive. You may have ideas stirring that you think could create new income and time freedom.

But here comes another Monday. Maybe feeling trapped is just the reality of the way things are. Doesn’t everyone dread Mondays? Doesn’t every responsible person just bury their dreams and passions in exchange for getting a paycheck?

Absolutely not! All of us, no matter how old we are or what kind of work we’re doing, can learn to bring the same excitement to our jobs that we bring to whatever we love to do on our days off. I believe that each one of us can pursue work that is a reflection of our best selves—a true fulfillment of our callings.

No More Mondays will show you that meaningful work really is within your grasp. And once you’ve opened the door and seen all the exciting career opportunities that await you—whether you decide to revolutionize your current job or launch a new career altogether—you’ll find you can’t go back to the old way of working.”

From No More Mondays

For everyone who dreads going to work on Monday mornings, inspiring advice on how to find fulfilling work in an uncertain age.

Do you hate Mondays?

If so, what's keeping you at your current job?

If you said a steady paycheck and the promise of a secure retirement, then you're in for a big disappointment. In today's volatile economy, there is nothing safe about punching the clock for a job you hate.

As beloved talk-show host and bestselling author Dan Miller reveals, the only way to find true security is by following your calling and then finding or creating work that matches that calling and passion.

No More Mondays’s practical, inspirational advice speaks to people looking for guidance on how to launch a new career or business, those who want to stay in their current jobs and give the old 9-to-5 model a twenty-first-century makeover, and managers desperate to understand the way people want to work today. For all of them, Dan Miller's message is loud and clear: If you're one of those people who dread going to work on Mondays, do something about it!

Ya en 1776, Adam Smith, el autor de La Riqueza de las Naciones, escribio que una persona que pasa su vida realizando la misma clase de tarea repetitiva generalmente se hace tan estupida e ignorante como quepa imaginar, lo que plantea un panorama sin duda poco alentador. Desgraciadamente, gran parte del trabajo que hacemos hoy dia consiste en esas tareas repetitivas y aburridas. Quiza seas uno de los muchos que quedaron atrapados en la creencia de que el trabajo es algo que se hace para tener dinero con que pasar el fin de semana. El trabajo es un mal necesario, un medio para llegar a un fin o simplemente una maldicion de Dios. Pero nadie espera que disfrutes de tu trabajo, sino que te limites a hacer lo que se debe. Sin embargo, ahora resulta que ni la lealtad ni la dependencia suponen una garantia. Ultimamente habras visto a mas de un compañero de trabajo al que han despedido despues de años de fieles servicios.

Este libro os mostrara que el trabajo significativo esta a tu alcance, ya sea que decidiendote a revolucionar tu actual ocupacion o iniciando una nueva carrera, y descubriras que ya no podras volver a tu antigua forma de trabajar....
