The Best Job in the World (PDF)

The true story of the man with the Best Job in the World

The Best Job in the World is the story of how following
your passions can lead to life-changing opportunities. Adventurer
Ben Southall shares his experiences and lessons learned as the
winner of the inaugural Tourism Queensland's Best Job in the World
campaign, and reveals how this has led to ongoing opportunities
since. Part autobiography, part insight into the power of a unique
marketing campaign, this book follows Ben's journey--from
leaving the UK on his own expedition around Africa to his new role
as caretaker of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef. You'll
learn about the skills and experiences that shaped Ben's path,
together with the inevitable pitfalls that he faced along the way
to living his dream.

The sole winner of the Best Job in the World campaign, Ben's
perspective is a unique one to share the serious challenges that
arose from being catapulted into a high profile job in an idyllic
location. Humorous and poignant, the story is as much holistic life
guide as travel guide, providing a motivational and inspirational
tale that may just be the push you need to:

* Get inspired--see the opportunities around you and grab
them with both hands

* Embrace the unknown, overcome life's obstacles and challenge
expectations

* Live out your dreams and be your authentic self

* Climb out of the rut and take part in the world around you

In The Best Job in the World, Ben Southall answers the
questions everyone is asking: "What is it like? Is it really the
best job in the world?" You'll learn how to transform your
interests and passions into a flexible, long-term career, and how
following the road less travelled can lead to living your best
life. If you're dissatisfied, stuck in a rut or merely curious,
The Best Job in the World is a must-read tale of aspiration,
inspiration and motivation.
