Summary:
"In chasing 'the good life,' many of us sacrifice our relationships, our health, and our sanity, but at the end of the day, we still find ourselves with lives and work that bring us little fulfillment. It's not about the pursuit of happiness, as happiness is superficial and fleeting. It's about meaning, which helps us know that our lives and work matter. As meaning emerges as the next hot topic in personal and organizational transformation, it also helps us realize our full potential, regardless of our circumstances. Inspired by the wisdom of ancient Greek philosophy and traditional village values, and backed by years of research, The OPA! Way provides a breakthrough approach and practical tools for finding joy and meaning in everyday life and work. Bestselling authors Alex Pattakos and Elaine Dundon demystify the subject of meaning by sharing insights, stories, and three core lessons to guide you on your odyssey to meaning: Connect meaningfully with Others; Engage with deeper Purpose' Embrace life with Attitude. Stop looking for happiness, and start looking for meaning. Create the meaningful life you want, The OPA! Way"-- Provided by publisher.
