Reviews
"StoryCorps founder Isay culls and collects wise words and powerful stories about searching for meaning in work from the more than 65,000 stories recorded in StoryCorps booths across America over the past 12 years. Every one of the stories in this inspiring collection reveals the deep love that motivates the storytellers as they discover and embrace their vocations . . . These wonderful stories reveal that work becomes meaningful to those who choose--or are in some cases chosen by--the calling that motivates, energizes, and inspires them." --Publisher's Weekly

"Callings will inspires readers at every stage of their careers to view work with a new appreciation for the possibilities it holds beyond the mundane." --Booklist

"Thoughtfully organized and edited, each story is a reminder of the essential role work plays in the pursuit of human happiness. Inspiring, insightful, and thoroughly readable." --Kirkus
