The Fred Factor: How passion in your work and life can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary

Mark Sanborn has captured in this lovely parable what many people think is missing today: doing the best you can and going the extra mile.  You hear many people today complaining about the work ethic of the younger generations, and this book really does capture the essence of doing your best and going the extra mile.  The message through the parable is clear: if you are passionate about your work, your life can become extraordinary.

A lot of people today hate their jobs because they are not passionate about it.  Sanborn encourages the reader, through a fictional character, to seek a job that they love and put their heart into it.  When you do this, you will be doing something that you are passionate about so even the tough days will be bearable and suddenly your life will become everything you had hoped it would be, and so much more.  A good read for anyone that has ever worked a job they didn’t love.

This book is recommended for people who are:

• Working a job that they don’t like
• Feeling a lack of passion for their line of work
• Can’t seem to find professional success
• Need a boost in work ethic
• Trying to find their passion
