WANT A CAREER YOU LOVE? GET THIS BRILLIANT BOOK

This is the masterpiece book on picking your perfect career. I went all the way through a PhD program only to discover I did not enjoy my field. I bought and read several of the popular career titles such as the Parachute book but did not find most of them particularly helpful. The exception was The Pathfinder. I read through all the reviews of it this morning and the one word that shows up in many of them is "brilliant", the best single word to describe this book. The author says that in order to have a career you love it needs to fit your "natural" talents and your personality perfectly, allow you to do work that comes most naturally to you. In addition, it must be in a field you care about, fulfill your goals and put you in a workplace environment that suits you well. I noticed that the few negative reviews of this book mostly complain that it is too long. I disagree. I found the whole book to be very useful. It is long because picking a career that fits is not easy. The book challenges you to reach toward a career that is not a compromise and shows you how to do so. It takes you through many exercises that help you discover what would make a career fit you perfectly. It teaches you how to deal with the obstacles that get in the way, most of which are self-generated internal voices that tell you to avoid risk. It takes you all the way through to the final goal.
I called the author's Rockport Institute today and got to speak with him. It turns out that this organization created the field of career coaching nearly thirty years ago and does constant research on what it takes to pick a career that fits. No wonder this is better than the other books.

Get Ready to Meet Yourself......Finally!

This book is not meant to be read overnight, but rather a guide to wake-up to everyday as you step yourself closer to the who, what, and when you really are. This book provides the "How" of getting there. Ranging from recalling your childhood dreams, discovering where you are at on your life's timeline, meeting the different parts of yourself all the way to ultimately waking up one day (for me, two years later) and realizing a vocation that fits you like your own fingerprints. This is a labor of love of discovering yourself with Nick (the author)along side you as you reflect and laugh along the way. I recommend this book highly....provided you value yourself enough to dig in and do the self-work involved in this type of journey.

Just DO it -- If you DO the book (versus just READ the book), you will be amazed where it takes you.

The book is not perfect.

I found myself critiquing this idea or that section. But I wanted something to change, so I persevered.

Still, while attempting to complete the activities of the book, I got to that familiar place in my life where I always seem to land --somewhere between "stopped" or "stuck".

That is when the REAL Learning began.

If you are ready for a breakthrough of an unexpected nature, pick up this book and go for it.

Good book for some, but not life changing

This book could be helpful to people who do not have any idea at all what they want to do. The exercises point you in a good, general direction. However, if you know what you like and are good at, but just want to find out how to get paid for it, or you want a super detailed career plan, this book won't do it.
