The New American Dream is about the pursuit of interestingness, not happiness. A career filled with variety, rather than defined by conventional paths to power and prestige, is what gives us satisfaction in the long run.

This book is a blueprint for choosing a path of lifelong learning and total engagement, every step of the way. You will learn:

+ How to step off the corporate ladder and pursue opportunities that make your life more interesting

+ How just being yourself is the surest way to win the rewarding career you seek

+ Ways to reinvigorate your current work environment with new meaning

Despite what you may have been taught about "paying your dues" before you get to begin enjoying life, you can get up each day excited to do what you do. You can have a job and still have time for family and outside passions. You can have a career filled with intellectual challenge, physical challenge and emotional challenge - not later, but right now.
