The two questions you will ask yourself most frequently during your career…“Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing?” and “Is this all there is?”

The answers can only be found inside of you, and these resources show you how. Utilize them to connect with your true calling and enjoy your best career despite the challenges linked with the economy, job market or job dissatisfactions that are inevitable to every job, career and employer.

“Career contentment is a source of personal empowerment and enduring resilience that slipped under the radar and should birth a revolution in the workplace.” —Dr. Richard G. Petty, MD, Psychiatrist and Human Potential expert.

“Career Contentment trumps job satisfaction in importance to your career.” —Dr. Chris Peterson, cofounder of Positive Psychology and Board Member to the Gallup Organizations Positive Psychology Institute.

“Garton offers the secrets to move beyond job satisfaction (which he shows is a myth in today’s changing workplace). Instead, readers are coached to discover a more lasting kind of fulfillment he calls career contentment – a state of mind and commitment to positive action that anyone can develop, regardless of our employer or circumstances.”
—Marcia Bench, Founder/Director, Career Coach Institute.

“Jeff Garton’s book offers both a practical and truly inspiring look at the process of finding real career fulfillment. Its empowering strategies, purpose-driven approaches, and life-altering insights will completely change your attitude about work. Career contentment is clearly more than an occupational goal; it’s a valuable and achievable way of life.”
—Sandra Anne Taylor, New York Times Bestselling Author of Quantum Success.
