to your happiness!
I’m reading and very much enjoying Larry Schreiter’s book, The Happy Lawyer. It contains some great insights and advice on finding our passion and purpose in the law. What makes it a standout, though, are its clear and concise written exercises on discovering (or re-discovering) why we went into law, who our optimal clients are and what practice areas really resonate for us. As you probably know by now, I think that the self-talk and introspection these types of exercises generate are essential to creating career success and satisfaction. This kind of internal dialoging might take us outside our comfort zone. But, I’ve found that the net results – less stress, better clients and work that pays off on many levels – make any temporary discomfort worthwhile.
