After graduating from university, Sean Aiken struggled with the question «What should I do with my life ?» His father said, «It doesn't matter what you do, just make sure it's something you're passionate about.» Taking his father's advice to heart, Sean created the One-Week Job Project. His goal : to work fifty-two jobs in fifty-two weeks in search of his passion. As word of the project spread, the offers began pouring in. His first gig was - literally - jumping off a bridge, as a bungee operator in British Columbia. From there he travelled across Canada and the United-States, reinventing himself as a firefighter, a stock trader, a radio DJ, a martial arts instructor, an NHL mascot, and a snowshoe guide. During the course of his seven-day stints, from a dairy farm in Alberta to a real estate office in Beverly Hills, Sean continued to ask himself and others about the nature of success and the real meaning of happiness - all while having the adventure of his life. Inventive and empowering, witty and wise, The One-Week Job Project is a book that will give you the courage to follow your passion.
