Description:
The devotee occupations serve as full-time or part-time livelihoods for people fortunate enough to have found them. Such work has so far been observed to exist in four sectors of the economy: the liberal professions, consulting occupations, skilled trades, and small business proprietors. Devotee work roots in serious leisure.
Review Quotes:
"This book will make a worthwhile contribution to the discipline of leisure studies, where the literature on this specifi c topic of occupational devotion remains relatively less developed. In my estimation, this book is poised to provide novel insights into the nature of occupational devotion, which advances serious leisure theory." -Dr. Rodney Lim Thiam Hock, Lecturer in Marketing and E-Commerce, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia
