Callings: The Purpose and Passion of Work (A StoryCorps Book)

Stories of passion, courage, and commitment, following individuals as they pursue the work they were born to do, from StoryCorps founder Dave Isay

InÂ Callings, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay presents unforgettable stories from people doing what they love.Â Some found their paths at a very young age, others later in life; some overcame great odds or upturned their lives inÂ orderÂ to pursue what matters to them. Many of their stories have never been broadcast or published by StoryCorps until now.

We meet a man from theÂ barriosÂ of Texas whose harrowing experiences in a family of migrant farmers inspired him to become a public defender. We meet a longtime waitress who takes pride in making regulars and newcomers alike feel at home in her Nashville diner. We meet a young man on the South Side of Chicago who became a teacher in order to help at-risk teenagers like the ones who killed his father get on the right track. We meet a woman from Little Rock who helps former inmates gain the skills and confidence they need to rejoin the workforce. Together they demonstrate how work can be about much more than just making a living, that chasing dreams and finding inspiration in unexpected places can transform a vocation into a calling. Their shared sense of passion, honor, and commitment brings deeper meaning and satisfaction to every aspect of their lives.Â

An essential contribution to the beloved StoryCorps collection,Â CallingsÂ is an inspiring tribute to rewarding work and the American pursuit of happiness.
