Fantastic Book! A Guide...
As a 'twenty-something with a clean slate', trying to balance my potential career choices with my passions and callings, this book was a refreshing reminder of what I need to consider when I am making my next life decisions. I also feel like I have several callings--which this book helped me understand.After reading it, I can only think: "Yes, I want significance over success in my life."
The author is a great storyteller, and I will look for counsel in these pages as I move on to the next phase of my life.

Just at the right time.
As many of us do, in January of this year, I was pondering my resolutions. But this year was different for me in that I wanted to look more long term and take a "strategic" view of my life. "Am I in the right place and time for what I am doing? Should I be doing something different? Am I sabotaging my own goals by just living day to day and not stretching myself to new horizons?" After reading John's book, I didn't have ALL the answers, but I knew that I was asking the right questions. His book gave me ideas for tools that I can and should use for my life planning and a sense of hope that I don't have to live from day to day - but could "re-discover" the passion for life I embraced years ago. I was able to write an "approach" to "what next" for my life from his inspiring ideas. I've recommended the book to several and so far all who have read it found it inspiring and challenging.

Provocative
I am a student of callings and following one's passion. Mr. Schusters offers an archetypal construct that was very helpful...the elements of Saboteurs, Evocateurs and Provocateurs changed the way I have organized my own search. Excellent story teller with vivid examples plus examples from many varied arenas. Also wonderful quotes from other writers that inspire and encourage one along their own personal quest. Good addition to personal library as well as a gift for those who are seeking. Similar Products
