THANK YOU, BARBARA! | Customer Rating: | Once again, Barbara Sher has raised the standard for Self-help books. While others tell you "Just Do It" Barbara takes a deep, sensitive look at why most of us "Just Can't". You don't need to be Superman to do what you love; you do need to look carefully at what keeps getting in your way. And you need this book!
| helpful but not as helpful as I had hoped.. | Customer Rating: | This book has some excellent ideas in it. But since it is targeting the vocationally clueless - I think it could have gone into more depth, as I really think it was more of a surface level study. I'm probably one of those people she calls scanners - but it didn't go into much detail with what can a scanner do for a living..
| You can have it all - just not at once! | Customer Rating: | I really enjoyed this book, even though I have changed careers many times. I am what Barbara calls a "scanner" and want to do everything in the world - this helped me see that this is fine, but I have to have my adventures sequentially. It also reminded me that life is long and I have time to achieve it all. I particularly liked the exercise on planning your life until you are 95 - yes, I have time! I like Barbara's non-nonsense approach - I can almost hear her counselling me at times! The book profiles different situations you might be in, and how to change them. I absolutely agree with taking action at anything to make a change - even if you don't get it right the first time, it is easier to change direction when you are moving.
Great book - love it! I even blogged on it! Thanks Barbara. | The best book ever | Customer Rating: | | If the title of this book caught your eye, then it will probably be perfect for you. It is very well written and has many great chapters about what may be holding you back from realizing your full potential. The woman who wrote this really knew exactly what she was doing. Take her advice, which is specific and goal oriented. Her exercises are difficult but they help solve dilemmas in finding direction in life. Inspiring, funny, and a quick read. | Doesn't quite deliver the goods | Customer Rating: | This book is helpful to an extent and has some interesting ways of looking at the problem. Like many such books however, it is lacking when it gets down to brass tacks. She has you fantasize about your Dream Job (and she does mean fantasize: your dream job might be rockstar on weekdays, fighter pilot on weekends)and next thing you know she has you trying to make it happen. What's missing is that crucial jump from fantasizing to identifying real, practical jobs that suit you.
Also, most of the chapters deal with various types of resistance you may have to finding your perfect job. These can be useful, but again she omits a certain amount of reality and practicality. What if your 'resistance' is not the result of a personality trait, but of practical concerns about earning a living? What if they are not hiring rockstars this week?
You can get some insight and inspiration here, but it's not necessarily going to actually deliever what it promises. |
