If Only I’d Been a Clown – Find What Makes You Happy. A Workbook on Finding Your Calling

Maybe you’ve been asking yourself for a long time why work never quite feels like it fits. Why you keep going, but never really get into your stride. This workbook asks the questions that can point you in the right direction – and gives you the room to answer them honestly.

Some people seem to have always known. They picked a direction early, followed it, and never looked back. And then there are the rest of us – people who do what’s expected, who get on with it, who function perfectly well, but who can’t shake the feeling: Is this really it? Is this really mine?

This workbook is for the rest of us.

It doesn’t hand you answers. It asks the questions worth asking. Why do some tasks wear you out when others barely touch you? Why does success sometimes feel like such an uphill battle? And what would you actually do if time, money, and other people’s expectations were off the table?

What’s inside:

This workbook takes you step by step towards a clearer picture of what actually suits you:

• Your strengths, values and patterns at work

• The beliefs and old stories that have been holding you back

• Your working conditions and what your body has been trying to signal

• What working right actually looks like for you – and what your next concrete step could be

The questions in this book didn’t come from a theory. They came from decades spent inside organizations of all kinds, from years in the therapy room, and from personal knowledge of what it feels like when work grinds you down – and what it feels like when it doesn’t.

You don’t have to work through everything at once. Some questions will need time to settle. But there’s no reason you can’t start today.

Who is this workbook for?

For anyone who has a nagging sense that more is possible – professionally and personally. For people at a crossroads, in the middle of a rethink, or simply carrying a quiet feeling that they haven’t quite landed in the right place yet.
