You might know Jonathan Fields, the recovering attorney who now writes about work, life, entrepreneurship, and play on his blog Awake At The Wheel. He’s recently come out with a free ebook (no email required) called The Fire Fly Manifesto, in which he asks:
“Do you consciously choose to pursue a soul-sucking path defined by excess money, toys, burn-out and increased agitation, anxiety, depression, alienation and false security or will you take this window as an opportunity to rebuild your living around the quest for purpose, passion, health, friendship, love, time spent doing what you love with people you love, a body that doesn’t horrify you, a heart that’s not on the verge of failing and a career that fills your soul and provides enough to live very comfortably in the world?”
This ebook is a short, thought-provoking read. Near the end, he introduces his new blog Career Renegade, with its audio interviews with real career regenades.
This is all free. But for a little money, you can pre-order his book Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love (it’s out January 13th). If you pre-order his book, you get free admission to Flight School, his 16 hour online training program about accelerating your career evolution (it goes live January 1st, and you need to enter your book order confirmation number to sign up for Flight School). And if you’re one of the first 1,000 people to pre-order the book, and you sign up for Flight School by December 15th, you get access to his two upcoming live Q&A calls.
Yeah, all the offers are a little confusing, but you can start with his free ebook The Fire Fly Manifesto.
