The Ecology of Lifework: A Worldview of Work for the Perpetuation of Well-Being
There are positive, benevolent alternatives to toilsome jobs and ambitious careers––alternatives that offer direct access to meaningful work and the perpetuation of well-being. More than an active push toward socioeconomic success, these alternatives reflect a receptive pull toward generative meaning in which your life's offering is in service of larger wholes of life, that also include yourself. Such a philosophy of work is vital as we navigate through these liminal times!
The Ecology of Lifework offers you a rich philosophical framework to appreciatively understand how adults relate with work. And, if you're up for it, a transformative pathway for you to become more wholly you uniquely already are, so that you might tend to, and ultimately contribute to mending a specific ache in your community.
If you're open (and boldly vulnerable) to allowing a transformative potency to discern your life's calling and radically reshape your relationship with work, consider what this book has to offer.

Dr. Devon Almond's lifework involves guiding adults to become more fully who they uniquely already are to care for an ache in their communities.
As a former study-away director with a fondness for small towns, he has worked—mostly as a faculty member—with various geographically remote and rural colleges and universities across North America, spanning from the Yukon to Hawaii.
