“Full of practical insights and actionable research findings, Make Your Job a Calling: How the Psychology of Vocation Can Change Your Life at Work guides readers–in all kinds of jobs–through a thoughtful and research-based path to transform their relationship with work. Dik and Duffy have powerfully captured the dynamics of meaning in work in ways that underscore the importance of meaningful work in any job.”—Amy Wrzesniewski, associate professor of Organizational Behavior, Yale School of Management

“Make Your Job a Calling comes at a most opportune time! As the career development field and its varied professionals re-invent their roles and strategies, demands for career service grows exponentially. Redirecting attention to ‘calling’ offers a critical link to helping clients design their life. As work has changed so are career interventions. Make Your Job a Calling forges new ground, offers needed hope and advances the field significantly.”—Rich Feller Ph.D. professor, Colorado State University and president, National Career Development Association

“This book is a treasure-trove of true, inspirational career-calling stories, backed by proven strategies and solid research. You’re sure to find career answers in these pages.”— Katy Piotrowski, M.Ed., Career Counselor, author, The Career Coward’s Guides

“Our work world is a maze into which Dik and Duffy confidently plunge. They trace a path of calling, blending faith and research to show us how to connect our gifts to the greater good, leading to more meaningful work and a more satisfying life. Theirs is a comforting, heartening, reassuring book.”—Carol Eikleberry, Ph.D., author of The Career Guide for Creative and Unconventional People 

“In this time of economic uncertainty and rapidly changing patterns of work, the search for a meaningful vocation is foremost among major life concerns. Make Your Job a Calling offers an excellent guide to historical and psychological wisdom on how work can be made meaningful. Bryan Dik and Ryan Duffy have written a useful and timely book that should interest all workers today.”—William Damon, professor, Stanford University, and author of The Path to Purpose: How Young People find their Calling in Life

“For anyone wanting to reflect upon the significance of their work, or to find a vocation better matched to their gifts and passions, Dik and Duffy offer a practical guidebook. Their feast of inspiring stories and cogent evidence points the way to transcendent meaning and increased joy in all varieties of paid and unpaid work.”—David G. Myers, Hope College, author, Psychology, 10th Edition

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the
    book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is
    wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will certainly
    be back.
