Publisher Description
Discover your unique imprint for work that makes you come alive, fills you with meaning, joy, purpose, and possibility, then spend the rest of your life doing it.
We’re all born with a certain “imprint” for work that makes us come alive. This is your "Sparketype®," your DNA-level driver of work that lets you know, deep down, you’re doing what you’re here to do. Work that motivates you, fills you with purpose and, fully-expressed in a healthy way, becomes a main-line to meaning, flow, performance, and joy. Put another way, work that “sparks” you.
Sparked draws upon years of research, experimentation, more than 25-million data-points generated by over half-a-million people, and hundreds of deep-dive conversations with luminaries from science to art to industry and wellbeing. Award-winning author, serial wellness-industry founder, and host of the top-ranked Good Life Project®, Jonathan Fields, and his team at Spark Endeavors, developed the Sparketype imprints and methodology that is the basis of this book.
In this book, Fields and his team will help you:
Discover what sparks you, what drains you, where you stumble and come alive, so you can reclaim a sense of direction, control, and purpose;Understand the “real” reasons certain experiences, jobs, and roles leave you empty and know how to make things better, without having to endure big disruptive changes;Learn from real-world, relatable stories, case-studies, and data-driven insights;Identify the action steps to begin immediately transforming the way you work and live.
Sparked takes you deep into the world of the Sparketypes, revealing an entirely new depth of insights about what makes you come alive in work life, along with what empties you out and trips you up, so you can avoid those life-drains.
You’ll discover tons of case studies, stories, and real-world applications, creating a comprehensive guide to help you discover what you are meant to do and how to get started.

Good, let me wanting more depth and specific path
Good, let me wanting more depth and specific path, but I understand why it is what it is.
This is the book that helped me figure out what I want to do with my life
My Sparketype is MAKER. It explains why, when I began writing, I felt like I was coming home. I am driven to create things -- books, plans, strategies. This book not only validated my primary “type” but it also explained my shadow (the thing that complements my primary), and also my Anti—the work that drains me of energy.
Nurturing is my anti which explains a LOT of choices in my life... LOL. I can be nurturing when I need to, but it drains me. This book gives you the tools to understand how you can live your best life by doing things that fulfill you. Plus is also gives you a ton of insight into others—my partner is a Sage and he loves to teach. It’s what fills him.
Insights well worth the price. I recommend it highly.
Waste of money
Incessant ramblings lacking any insight.
