Great, quick, clean....
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This book is awesome... I have to put it down every few pages because I like to put thought and intention into the exercises.... it is hopeful, knowledgeable and encouraging...

ALOT of meandering...
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
I think I have an idea of what the writer is trying to accomplish but his book could have been simpler and more concise. I found the book difficult to apprehend for people frustrated in life and unsure of what to do next. I'd like to give this warning...if you aren't inclined towards religion you will have problems with this book because the author uses God as an affirmative defense for the outcome of every decision the reader has to make. I believe in God but I also believe in free will and that God does not micro-manage our life styles. That God is concerned in long term consequences resulting from poor planning or the lack of it but not necessarily in every decision we have to make. That being said if you are already aware of the passion that drives you but aren't quite sure how to bring it to fruition there are perhaps, a number of other books better suited to the task of helping you realize your full potential.

What a lifesaver!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This book is truly a lifesaver, and it's updated every year. I have not had to look for a job in 20 years, and didn't truly know how to write a professional resume. Not only did I learn alot about writing resumes but I also learned alot about myself! This is a book I will keep close at hand always. I love it!

A Must-Read for Those on the Voyage of Self-Discovery
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
For those unsure of what lies ahead, this book is the perfect must-read. It will guide you through the voyage of self-discovery to assist you in choosing the career/work environment that best fits your personality. What could be better than finding a career you love?

Not Too Useful
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
I don't understand why this book is considered such a classic reference. I found it badly written, not that useful, and WAY too religious. The chapter about how to determine your true mission in life is ALL about God and religion. You may agree or disagree with the author's religious views, but regardless I do not think that belongs in a job-hunting book. As a disillusioned corporate worker trying to change careers, I really needed practical, real-world advice.

The book seems to written for ADD people because it keeps repeating the same things only a couple of pages later. Also, some of his advice I disagree with - he keeps saying that the Internet is not a good way to get a job. What century is he living in?? I have gotten almost all my jobs over the last 12 years through applying over the Internet (Monster, CareerBuilder, etc.)

It has a few listings of sites that may be useful, but the book overall was a waste. Unless you want to bring it to your Bible study group.
