This book could change your life!
Outstanding! This excellent book helps you clear away all the self-limiting thinking that's keeping you from finding your life's purpose. It will also help you discover your right livelihood through a series of insightful, though-provoking questions. You will love this book; it's fun to read, and VERY inspiring. It's far different from most any other self help book you have probably read before. Also, BE SURE you get the cassette version, too...listen to it in the car, while exercising, or anytime you need a great pep talk. This book gives you more than hope...it gives you a path and vision to achieve your purpose in life. Get it!!

Positives and Negatives
Positives:
1. Easy to read and offers trivial but entertaining quotes from famous people.
2. A feel good book, inspires you to be more giving to the outside world (i.e. choose a career that fulfills by doing something meaningful to you and valuable to others in a self enriching way).
3. Gives you something to think about as far as your choices in life (i.e. touching upon reasons you chose your career and how your career may be affecting your health/self-esteem/stress/anger).
Negatives:
1. Depending on your personal outlook you may find this book useful if you have been looking for additional support in your dream to become a teacher and quit your job as a corporate lawyer. On the other hand you may think the brainwashing is totally unrealistic (you need to pay your bills) and the book a waste of time. It really depends on you.
2. The exercises in the book are minimally useful.
3. If you are doing some soul searching maybe it would be more useful to look at your other specific problems (if you have any) like anger, stress, health and choose a more appropriate self-help book. For example, Harriet Lerner has a great book on anger. Similar Products
