Dream Small: The Secret to Finding Meaning in Work and Life

From the author of The 5-Day Turnaround and the Turnaround Leadership Universe comes a touching reflection on purpose, meaning, and the courage to dream smaller. In this moving novella, Jeff Hilimire reintroduces us to Will, a successful entrepreneur now grappling with questions of meaning, and Charles, the wise mentor whose final lessons will reshape everything Will thought he knew about making an impact on the world.

With the same approachability and insight that have made his leadership books trusted guides for purpose-driven leaders, Hilimire explores how the smallest of actions can create the largest ripples. Through their park bench conversations and life-changing revelations, Dream Small weaves together a relatable story about finding purpose in life's smaller moments and the ripple effects of mindful actions.

Honest and heartfelt, this gem of a book will resonate with anyone who has ever questioned whether their work matters enough. "We must stop believing that our contribution is too small to be meaningful," Hilimire writes, "and instead think even smaller." For those trying to make their corner of the world a little bit better, Dream Small offers a powerful reminder that sometimes the most meaningful changes start with the smallest steps.

“Everyone deserves to find meaning in their work. But few books tell you how—until now.”

–Mohamed "Mo" Massaquoi, speaker & organizational psychologist
