Last month I was writing about shifting paradigms and how we need to solve problems from a higher level of consciousness. Old paradigms such as the linear progression of school, college, and career don't seem to work anymore.

Much of my coaching is around the transition I recently came across a book called "Life Entrepreneurs - Ordinary People Creating Extraordinary Lives" by Christopher Gergen and Gregg Vanourek (see link below). According to the authors, "people are looking for opportunity, challenge, and the chance to develop their talents, achieve success, and make an impact.

Life Entrepreneurs: Ordinary People Creating Extraordinary Lives by Christopher Gergen and Gregg Vanourek Description: "An inspirational and practical guide for anyone who wants to incorporate the dynamic skills of entrepreneurs into their own lives and work. A new generation of "life entrepreneurs" is emerging: people who apply their vision, talents, creativity, and energy not only to their work but to their entire lives, changing the world for themselves and those around them. In this book, successful entrepreneurs Christopher Gergen and Gregg Vanourek draw on numerous interviews with fifty-five leading entrepreneurs worldwide as well as the wisdom of multiple thought leaders to provide vivid examples, moving vignettes, concrete frameworks, and practical strategies for revving up our work and play through entrepreneurial leadership. This book starts by providing strategies for integrating life, work, and purpose and ends by capturing the implications of the current entrepreneurial boom for our workplaces, learning institutions, communities, and families."
