David Whyte, Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work As a Pilgrimage of Identity


( Penguin Putnam, 2001 )

When our work is right for us and it gives back to the world, when we develop, as the poet William Blake said, "a firm persuasion," we feel we can move mountains. Maybe we've felt this way only for a moment, maybe some feel this way all the time, or maybe some have never felt this way. But a sense of fulfillment is possible for all of us, and David Whyte can show us how to restore it to our lives. Whyte applies the stages of a holy pilgrimage to the process of seeking identity through the unknown sea of work, including longing for refuge, finding the strength to begin the journey and connecting with others with a common purpose. This book is a life-changing experience not to be missed.
