Why you should read Is Your Genius At Work

This is a serious self-help book which requires thoughtful effort on the reader’s part, but promises a concomitant reward. Dick Richards urges you to find your genuine inner talents and spiritual beliefs, your “genius,” and to pursue them to find your career, your purpose and true fulfillment. However, the quest for genius is difficult to execute, though many successful people may have already completed this internal search and made genius-based career decisions without even knowing it. Richards is writing for those who have not. His audience is people who hold jobs that don’t give them a sense of accomplishment or meaning. Richards spends a good bit of time explaining how people can find and name their genius, and perhaps not enough time telling them what they can do with it once that “eureka” moment has happened. As a result, getAbstract finds that he articulates a noble goal but may leave some of its realization up to you. Then again, that seems valid: After all, no one can activate your genius for you. This book is useful for counselors and therapists, as well as for spiritually oriented readers who are willing to undertake serious introspection to refocus on their true gifts and purpose.
