“Pursuit of Passionate Purpose distills the compelling experiences of real
people into a practical framework for creating passion and meaning in your
work—and in your life. It speaks to the passion and power that come from
aligning your head and your heart with a purpose that fits your unique gifts
and values. Without oversimplifying the complexities, it describes the steps
required to find a passionate purpose that will work for you. It also pro-
vides useful strategies for overcoming the barriers that keep people from
following their passion. This book rings with the practical wisdom that
Theresa Szczurek has derived from her research and consulting. She suc-
ceeds at balancing intellectual with emotional wisdom, and spirituality
with worldly practicality. This book will be valuable to people who are
fine-tuning their careers and will be invaluable to people who are consid-
ering major changes.”
