Summary:
"To know your true calling -- your dharma, as the yogis say -- is perhaps the greatest desire within each of us. And yet, few can say we know our purpose with absolute certainty. Fortunately, there is a time-tested guide -- an ancient map -- for discovering your unique calling. In The Great Work of Your Life, Stephen Cope walks you through each step of the journey. Cope teaches that the secrets to unlocking the mystery of your life's purpose can be found in the spiritual classic, the Bhagavad Gita -- a timeless tale about the path to dharma. In The Great Work of Your Life, Cope uses the Gita as a framework for each of us to discover our own dharma, masterfully weaving together stories of both well-known and ordinary lives."--Publisher's website.
