Wouldn't you love to feel as engaged and energized as you were on day one? The key is to quit waiting for it to happen and take control of the process yourself.

Once upon a time, you probably learned the thrill of a good day's work and were inspired to work harder and accomplish more. Then the honeymoon ended, burnout set in, and you began going through the motions uninspired.?

In Find the Fire, discover how you can shake off the malaise and dial up the motivation. Whether you're wrestling with fear, disconnectedness, boredom, lack of creative outlets, overwhelm, or other issues, you will find applicable insights, exercises, inspiring stories, checklists, and more as you learn about the nine forces that drain inspiration.

In this compelling book, you will learn how to:

  • reconnect with your coworkers and managers,
  • boost your self-confidence and personal presence,
  • and how to stay in control during tough times.
  • Discover how to empower yourself, not waiting for others to fill that need, and how you can still produce work you're proud of, even after many years of performing the same tasks.

    You've probably been asking yourself lately what inspires you now. But the more applicable question is, how did you lose the inspiration you once had in the first place? Learn to find that again.

        Mautz (CEO, Profound Performance; Make It Matter) presents a holistic approach to battling the soul-crushing feeling of being stuck in a bad job. When we fail to find meaning in our jobs or become bored, disconnected, or stuck, we tend to look for greener pastures only to begin the whole cycle again. What if we were able to identify exactly what happened between that day we quivered through our job interview to our most recent "case of the Mondays?" Mautz introduces nine forces, or "anti-muses," that drain our inspiration (including fear, boredom, loss of control, and disconnectedness). Chapter by chapter, he presents actionable suggestions and alternatives rooted in a strong bibliography of research. Along with the advice are meaningful anecdotes that run the gamut from Silicon Valley titans to the Clash's Joe Strummer. Folded in with the sound career advice is a good amount of humor and encouragement. No overly simple trademarked solutions are presented, but rather a perspective-changing series of advice and exercises. VERDICT Readers feeling stuck at work will find at least one technique here to rekindle their passion.--Jennifer Clifton, Indiana State Lib., Indianapolis
