## Description

Crossing the Unknown Sea shows how poetry and practicality, far from being mutually exclusive, reinforce each other to give every aspect of our lives meaning and direction. For anyone who wants to deepen their connection to their work-or find out what their life's work is-this book is essential to navigating the way. "Readers who accept poet and Fortune 500 consultant Whyte's invitation to enter into 'an imaginative conversation about life and work' are likely to be challenged as well as delighted by the beauty of his writing and the expansiveness of his views. Gracefully using the metaphor of a sea voyage to depict the journey through the world of work, Whyte views work not only as a means of support, but as a means for interacting with the world and developing self-expression and identity...An abundance of provocative ideas... thoughtful readers will wholeheart-edly savor this book." ( Publishers Weekly , starred review)

Review: Beautiful! - The book is beautiful with tremendous practical insights. The author is a poet, a philosopher, and well, hold your breath for a sec, a corporate consultant. This book is just plain better than the so many 'career' books out there.
Review: Grounded, far-reaching reasonings - To you who may find this book: prepare for a voyage. The author weaves his arguments with tender care... Maybe his reputation preceeds him, from South America as I am, I wouldn't really know. I'll emphasize, however, the fact this is a book from the time just before wider internet advancements and social media - the wisdom contained here is grounded, timeless. From a time we, as a collective, were not yet as unmoored from our lives as we have come to be...

The book is beautiful with tremendous practical insights. The author is a poet, a philosopher, and well, hold your breath for a sec, a corporate consultant. This book is just plain better than the so many 'career' books out there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grounded, far-reaching reasonings

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An honest, insightful, journey of self discovery
*by S***Y on 7 September 2017*

Whyte shares his personal history with deep, meaningful insights. A master wordsmith presents an interesting perspective on the career. I recommend this to anyone who believes that they can get more out of a career than a paycheck and a good pension. He breathes new life into the conversation.
