Designing Your Perfect Work Day - Craig Nathanson

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/07/13/Craig_Nathanson_Dont_Just_Retire__Die

Vocational coach Craig Nathanson leads an exercise in planning "your perfect vocational day," including ideal activities, work settings, and associates. He explains that the key to living an authentic life is learning how to capitalize on your passions.

-----

Craig Nathanson has never understood the concept of investing for the future when the present isn't providing a joyful and fulfilling life. Unfortunately, the notion of working at just a job after 40 is still the conventional wisdom we hear every day.

In this program, Nathanson teaches us why no one over 40 should have just a job, how to wake up and live an authentic life and how to make a contribution to what is most important to you. - Grace Cathedral

Craig Nathanson is on the faculty at Cal State East Bay, Keller School of Management and Corinthian Colleges teaching both traditional and on-line courses.

He has been an executive, senior manager, trainer, counselor and internal consultant for over 30 years, working in large Fortune 100 companies as well as several internet start-ups, one of which he was an original founder of.

Since 2001, Nathanson has focused on building a private speaking and coaching practice targeted at those over 40. Craig is a Ph.D candidate in Transpersonal Counseling.

Craig is the author of the books, Don't JUST Retire and Die: A New Approach to Your Life and Work After 40, P is for Perfect: Your Perfect Vocational Day and Discover and Live Your Passion 365 Days a Year, which Nathanson calls a workshop in a box. He has also produced a series of CD's including the popular "How to Make Your Mid-life a Crusade and Not a Crisis," and over 25 other CD's from his bi-monthly tele-class series, "How to Make Meaning and Money in Mid-life," which includes different topics and guests discussing their own transitions. Nathanson has also been publishing since 2001 a regular E-Zine newsletter aimed at those over 40.

Craig obviously once designed his vocation as... selling a niche audience of frustrated losers once again the illusion of being able to live their dream.

Cynical bastard... smarter than the people who buy his "transpersonal counseling" though.

So "authentic life" is asking yourself how you can possibly sell it, right?

Sad, sad Americans...

i own my own business , which is the retail sales OF something i love to do and enjoy doing myself..people always say to me "it must be nice doing something you love for a living" , and i have to explain that selling something is NOT the same thing as doing or enjoying it yourself..i love hamburgers too , but i doubt the people working at mcdonalds feel like they are doing something they love everyday..i love new cars , but i dont think being a car salesman would be DOING SOMETHING I LOVE either

well said man, notice that the his motivations revolve around I give you millions, how to make money, etc. He did not even say for a second to all these people: write down how you would be REALLY happy and emotionally and mentally healthy! Typical American: money-money-money! Someone must be stupid to pay money to go see him

I made the exercise. And I imagined a day as Rocco Siffredi working with incredibly hot girls (google the name if you don't know him). The problem is that I'm in my forties, with hairs like those of Craig and a more prominent belly than his one. Anyone from San Fernando Valley reading this and wanting to hire me ?
