Find and Execute the True Passion of Your Lifework

"Find and Execute the True Passion of Your Lifework: A Calling Development Program" brings a new perspective on the age-old question of how to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, a question that is given new urgency by the current social and societal changes that are making obsolete the 20th century model of a life-long career. Dr. Yohko Hatada offers a guide towards "finding your life's calling" that combines insights from scientific research in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, evolution and cosmology with wisdom from Buddhism and fundamental thinking on Humanity, Democracy, Symbiosis and Evolution. The book consists of three parts: 1. Approach, 2. Fundamentals, 3. Defining own life's calling and develop as your lifework. Each chapter introduces structured concepts and perspectives, a series of questions that deepens your own specific clarifications and development. Through the offered questions Dr. Hatada takes the reader on a journey of self-rediscovery that transforms the content of each chapter from objective Knowledge into subjective Meaning, Visioning and Realization. This book is the essential tool for anyone seeking to "find own calling", no matter what stage of their life they are in. Richly inquiring and unique among books dealing with self-discovery, Dr. Hatada integrates her intimate understanding of both eastern and western cultures and careers spanning multiple disciplines in order to help readers deepen their self-understanding to free their potential and develop unique truly fulfilling calling. A central premise of this book is that when your connection to calling lifework becomes truer, you deepen your true agency. You truly appreciate, respect and act on the opportunity of living, of the self and others in the world. Your lively creativity is naturally expressed through deeper connection to the self and the world which evolve together interdependently through your vision and action of "calling lifework" in everyday life. Your living in calling lifework is central to evolve humane democratic processes and to transform civilization in the global society.
