About the Author--A career with unique perspectives on meaning in work

                                            "I want more from work than just a paycheck.  What am I looking for?"

After a nearly 50 year career in investing and lawyering, plus extensive world travels, Samuel Halpern brings a unique perspective to finding meaning and motivation in work. Some may view his career as soulless or value neutral, but he found it spiritually rewarding by tapping into a dozen psychological sources of fulfillment.  Wellsprings of Work uses his varied experiences-- ranging from Warren Buffett, Bernie Madoff and Major League Baseball, to Broadway, Bangkok and Beijing-- as springboards for explaining how many other people, across many types of work can tap into these sources of meaning and motivation as well.
