The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to Do

Thanks to Christine Niles for helping me edit multiple
versions of this book and tracking down all those pesky
citations I tend to forget. And to Marion Roach Smith, who
helped yet another book of mine cross the finish line, I am
grateful. And of course, I cannot forget the My 500 Words
Community for all their critiques and encouragement
throughout this process. To Jamie Hess for managing the
chaos that is my life, thank you. I couldn’t do any of this
without you!
And to everyone who contributed their stories to this
book, thank you! This was such a fun but daunting project,
and your experiences really brought it to life.
Thanks to my dad and mom, Keith and Robin Goins, for
encouraging me to do my best, but to never try to be
someone I was not. And to my in-laws for their constant
support: Pam, Pat, Ahron, and Kathy. Thanks, you guys!
Lastly, I thank God for his grace and mercy, for giving
me the words to say when I had none, and to you, dear
reader, for taking the time to finish this book. It means so
much to me, and I hope it has been helpful to you.
