This is a well-written guide for those seeking the so-called perfect job, once defined by Theodore Roosevelt as ""the chance to work hard at work worth doing.'' Using information culled from Jungian psychology, modern literature, career counseling and Zen Buddhism, among other sources, the authors offer broad strategies, specific tools and lots of Leo Buscagliastyle encouragement. They propose three major measures of work satisfactionand then set forth strategies for balancing these spheres of satisfaction. Among their mind tricks: ``Zenning it'' (convincing yourself that your boring job isn't a waste of time), ``Learning and Changing'' (turning your job into a ``school for life'') and finding ``Optimal Work,'' work that matches your dreams.
