In his new book, Making a Life, Making a Living (2000, Warner Books Inc.), former Harvard Business School professor Mark Albion shows that work can be transformed into a pursuit that feeds the spirit and the bank account while benefiting society as well. The book includes the stories of 12 people who found the courage and motivation to give up their careers and recreate successful professional lives guided by passion. The stories highlight 12 important guidelines, organized under four questions: Who are you? What do you want? What can you do? Where are you going? A highly successful professor and businessman, Albion's life was changed when he learned that his mother had cancer. The news inspired him to reexamine his own life, values, and goals.
