I'M A TOUGH CRITIC... REALLY TOUGH CRITIC
I've read a lot of personal development books & used a lot of personal development tools. More than most people-- make that MUCH more than most people. I guess I figure that the way to continually become a smarter person is to find a REALLY smart person & listen to what they have to say. I don't typically rave about books, I've never posted a review on Amazon.com before but with this one I just HAD to.Nicholas Lore is brilliant. His book spoke right to me. It could not have been a better training session if he had been sitting with me in my living room. His advice is right on, so painful at times it hurts...so true to life at times that you'll laugh out loud. An excellent resource to help you take a good hard look at your life, your goals and your ability to have a career that leads to a lifetime of satisfaction & success. He helps you discover all of the right questions to be asking yourself... and he does it in a FUN way. I read it cover-to-cover in one weekend. And I did most of the exercises twice.
This book is not over anyone's head. Nor is it written below anyone's comprehension level. It's straight forward, from the hip, talk about how to want it, plan it and get it. I'd recommend it for anyone who is committed to investing the time & effort to help yourself grow.
At $14 this book is a steal (oops, I hope Nicholas isn't reading this). Invest in yourself!

PathFOUND! through this wise & wonderfully entertaining book
This wonderful book is an inspiring and entertaining read- it launched a sea change in my life. Leagues ahead of other 'parachute' type books, Nick Lore's approach is a tangible and systematic way to understand what type of work will bring you success and satisfaction. Rather than focusing on choosing a new job title "doctor/lawyer/musician" Nick puts the focus on what doing the job entails, and matching your disposition with the day-to-day realities of doing the career. It's full of realistic and inspiring means to make the transition. Even if you do not intend to reinvent your career, the insights and tools Nick offers are valuable to stay connected and fresh, whatever you do.

Absolutely wonderful
This book is a refreshing and welcome change from the average self-help, career-oriented book. Nicholas Lore uses a completely different perspective wherein the reader is 100% engaged in designing his/her path towards a fulfilling career and ultimately, life. This books takes readers on a journey of self-discovery that is useful and applicable to their life goals. The principles apply not only towards careers but other facets of personal life such as relationships, decision making and many others. Anyone who seriously reads this book must gain something new and helpful nomatter what path along life this person is. I would encourage anyone to read this. Similar Products
