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. 520 The delinquent-turned-Oxford scholar picks up after the events of his "The Other Wes Moore" to trace his search for purpose in Afghanistan, on Wall Street, and in the White House, sharing inspirational stories by others who found meaning in a life in service. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 10 Moore, Wes,|d1978- 600 10 Moore, Wes,|d1978-|xCareer in the military. 600 10 Moore, Wes,|d1978-|xCareer in finance. 600 10 Moore, Wes,|d1978-|xCareer in television broadcasting. 600 17 Moore, Wes,|d1978-|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01915522 650 0 African American men|vBiography. 650 7 African American men.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00799236 650 7 Finance.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00924349 650 7 Television broadcasting.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01146714 651 0 Baltimore (Md.)|vBiography. 651 7 Maryland|zBaltimore.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204292 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Electronic books.|2lcgft 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aMoore, Wes, 1978-|tWork|dNew York : Spiegel & Grau, [2014] |z9780812993578|w(DLC) 2013038679|w(OCoLC)865574844 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0013888554|zFound on Boundless
