Summary:
"Sweet spot." Golfers understand the term. So do tennis players. Ever swung a baseball bat or paddled a Ping-Pong ball? If so, you know the oh-so-nice feel of the sweet spot. Life in the sweet spot rolls like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride. But you don't have to swing a bat or a club to know this. What engineers give sports equipment, God gave you.A zone, a region, a life precinct in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot.
But if you're like 87 percent of workers, you haven't found it. You don't find meaning in your work--or you're one of the 80 percent who don't believe their talents are used. What can you do? You're suffering from the common life, and you desperately need a cure.
Best-selling author Max Lucado has found it. In Cure for the Common Life he offers practical tools for exploring and identifying your own uniqueness, motivation to put your strengths to work, and the perfect prescription for finding and living in your sweet spot for the rest of your life.

Finding Your Sweet Spot
Customer Rating:
I buy this book five copies at a time. These are excellent gifts to people who find themselves at a crossroad in life. Whether graduating from high school, college, or experiencing a major life change which causes any of us to question what will we do with our lives. Max guides readers through a life inventory of what they have done to help them decide what they can do. In Max's unique pragmatic style, he employs the principles described by Dr. Arthur Miller in "Designed for Life" in a way that is easy to understand and fun to learn. This is a great book that I have read several times and found it helpful when I retired from the Army.
Be happy where you are
Customer Rating:
this book has a great lesson about being happy where you are. what I and my husband took from it is that although we may not be happy with our work, we need to realize that perhaps God has us there for a reason. We need to learn to see beyond the obvious. Look deeper. Then you learn to find satisfaction where you didn't before. That is a helpful lesson for today's society and way of life.
Inspiring!
Customer Rating:
I found this audio book easy to listen to. There aren't confusing references or hard to follow language. This book simply tells you how to work to the best of your natural abilities and embrace your individuality while exercising your unique strengths.
The book gives information from the bible in everyday terms so that you are able to associate it, easily, to whatever it is you aspire to become in life. It is not an overwhelming lesson in bible verses just good information that you can put to use everyday.
