Could losing your job actually be the best thing that ever happened to you?

When you're downsized, it's easy to sink into despair; it can feel like the bottom has fallen out of your entire life. But the reality is, when you're freed from the shackles of the 9-to-5 grind, you suddenly have the opportunity to find a future that's genuinely fulfilling--a future that can bring you a sky-high level of satisfaction that can last a lifetime.

In The JOY of Losing Your Job, CEO and certified coach Christina DeOliveira brings you the touching, inspirational and uplifting stories of some special people who toughed out their terminations and pursued the life dreams that up until then had been beyond their reach. Through their moving first person accounts, you'll discover how each of them transformed their life, discovered their true purpose and came to realize that being "let go" allowed them to let go of a stifling lifestyle that prevented the development of their full potential.

More importantly, their stories will provide you with the eye-opening life lessons they learned the hard way while struggling to regain their professional footing. You'll see for yourself how these simple but powerful insights took them to the next level--and how they can do the same for you.
