A Wall Street Journal bestseller
World-renowned researcher and New York Times bestselling author Marcus Buckingham helps us discover where we're at our best—both at work and in life.
You've long been told to "Do what you love." Sounds simple, but the real challenge is how to do this in a world not set up to help you. Most of us actually don't know the real truth of what we love—what engages us and makes us thrive—and our workplaces, jobs, schools, even our parents, are focused instead on making us conform. Sadly, no person or system is dedicated to discovering the crucial intersection between what you love to do and how you contribute it to others.
In this eye-opening, uplifting book, Buckingham shows you how to break free from this conformity—how to decode your own loves, turn them into their most powerful expression, and do the same for those you lead and those you love.
How can you use love to reveal your unique gifts?
How can you pinpoint what makes you stand out from anyone else?
How can you choose roles in which you'll excel?
Love and Work unlocks answers to these questions and others, so you can:
- Choose the right role on the team.
- Describe yourself compellingly in job interviews.
- Mold your existing role so that it calls upon the very best of you.
- Position yourself as a leader in such a way that your followers quickly come to trust in you.
- Make lasting change for your team, your company, your family, or your students.
Love, the most powerful of human emotions, the source of all creativity, collaboration, insight, and excellence, has been systematically drained from our lives—our work, teams, and classrooms.
It's time we brought love back in.
Love and Work shows you how.

About the author

Marcus Buckingham is a global researcher and the world’s authority on what the most effective leaders and highest-performing people do differently. He is the New York Times best-selling author of two of the most popular business books of all time, First, Break All the Rules, and Now, Discover Your Strengths.

Marcus is the creator of the StandOut strengths assessment and the co-creator of StrengthsFinder - his strengths assessments have been completed by over 25 million people worldwide.
Building on two decades of experience as a Senior Researcher at The Gallup Organization, he leveraged his data-based discoveries to build a $100 million tech company focused on helping people find and contribute their strengths at work. Beginning with First, Break All the Rules, and continuing through his latest book Love and Work (Harvard Business Review Publishing, April 5th, 2022) he is known for using reliable psychometric data to get to the core of what drives engagement, resilience, and productivity. He currently guides the research agenda of the ADP Research Institute as Head of People + Performance.

What really resonated with me are the 'red threads' - those activities in our day where time flies by and we feel energized and fulfilled. They are unique to each one of us, and they are interwoven with other threads (not every activity we do can be red). But, we must have those red threads every single day.
Love+Work combines practical exercises with sound research and personal anecdotes. Asking yourself the questions posed throughout the book gives you insight into what brings meaning into your own work. The book has influenced me already, in terms of me acknowledging my own red threads and therefore how I structure my day, how I think about my work, and being able to recognise what is unique in me and what I do.
Although useful at any time in your career, I think this would make a wonderful gift for a new grad - someone just starting out on their career.

The core thesis about the power of doing work from a place of love is both radical (returning to the source) and such common sense, but sadly all too rarely experienced.
This book weaves together several strands from his previous books and integrates them into a new and very practical framework to equip you to figure out what you love in your work and how to do more of it.
As much a manifesto as a how-to guide, personally I’m both motivated and scared to fully embrace what he’s arguing for, as to seek love is to open yourself up to the possibility of pain.
Becoming aware that you loathe the work you do and that there’s little to no potential to do it with love is something I know I’ve found soul crushing in the past, and am struggling with right now.
So while I know what I need to do,
the thought of it is deeply disturbing.
But if I want to do more than just survive, then at least the path has been made clear.
Thank you, Marcus, for showing us how.
