But what happens next? Next, he had to figure out the answer to the question: What is your work? More than finding a job, he had to find the work he was meant to do. For the next decade, Wes traced a path through some of the most fascinating and high-pressure workspaces in the world: an American student at Oxford after 9/11; a combat officer in Afghanistan during the most intense years of fighting; a White House fellow during the tumult of the late Bush years; an Obama organizer during that historic campaign; a Wall Street banker at the cusp of the financial crisis; and finally, back home to Baltimore, working to revitalize that troubled city. This is the story of how one young man traced a path through the world to discover the meaning of his life -- and how after a series of misdirections and lesson-teaching mistakes, he found that meaning in service. Wes weaves the episodes and moments of decision in his own life with those of a dozen other changemakers from every walk of life who confronted the question "what is my work?" and found their own answers, to help readers see how we can each find our own path to purpose and to creating a better world"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000717844 60010 $$aMoore, Wes,$$d1978- 000717844 60010 $$aMoore, Wes,$$d1978-$$xCareer in the military. 000717844 60010 $$aMoore, Wes,$$d1978-$$xCareer in finance. 000717844 60010 $$aMoore, Wes,$$d1978-$$xCareer in television broadcasting. 000717844 650_0 $$aAfrican American men$$vBiography. 000717844 651_0 $$aBaltimore (Md.)$$vBiography. 000717844 85200 $$bgen$$hF189.B153$$iM67$$i2014 000717844 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:717844$$pGLOBAL_SET 000717844 980__ $$aBIB 000717844 980__ $$aBOOK
