5.0 out of 5 stars
A guidemap for job seekers,
By Jon Staebell (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Work of Your Life (Mass Market Paperback)
I, like a lot of people, found myself in an unpleasant job situation, and decided to find a different job. The prospect of looking for a job is daunting, because there's so much out there, and there can be a lot of fear of getting into another unpleasant job. This book was unlike any other that I found, in that it really helped me focus in on what kind of a job would make me happy. By stripping away pre-conceived notions of what I "should" do, I was able to envision what I really wanted. I limited my search, and when I was offered jobs that I knew weren't right, I was able to turn them down, rather than accept out of some feeling of desperation. But it's not just a theoretical book, it also has an action component to get people actively looking. The book includes resume advice, and when I developed a new resume based on that advice I received many nice complements on my resume from employers.

For anyone who desires to create a more meaningful career or life path for themselves - "The Best Work of Your Life" is a must-read. In their own voices, authors Pat Alea and Patty Mullins present an insightful, three-step approach, "clarity-strategy-action", that serves as a road map for finding your best work. This practical and results-oriented approach is illustrated with exercises and examples throughout the book - and it works. It gave me a framework for figuring out what meant the most to me, and it helped me develop and implement strategies for getting there.

Think Different and Be Happier!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Work of Your Life (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is unlike any other career guidance book out there. Its philosophy is to help you find the job that fits you, rather than vice-versa. This subtle distinction is the difference that will set you apart from all the other candidates. The book provides several easy, insightful excercises to help you discover and articulate the kind of work that you thrive on. From there, it walks you through how to find the job of your dreams. Throw out any other career books you have; this is the only one you'll need.
