Review

This is a workbook to help guide a person in finding what they really enjoy doing in life. This is an opportunity to go through your life and your current goals and have them match as well as finding a job that you really enjoy.

There is really good information throughout the book that allows you to really examine what you are currently doing and determine if it really makes you happy. The artwork that is included is typical for any business and I have seen it used extensively in powerpoints and handouts.

I could see this workbook being useful if a person is burned out or just starting their career. It would probably be helpful to a college student that was have a difficult time trying to determine their major. The assessments provided a wide scope of different areas and did not just focus on a particular field like other workbooks I have seen. There is an opportunity for you to really compile a wide range of information about yourself and plug it into an overview to help get the big picture. There are some limited references and a large area to write down thoughts. The goal section has clear time frames that I believe every goal setting session calls for.

There is a very interesting chapter on developing patience. I found this chapter the most interesting and the most useful. It would be nice to be able to just use this chapter for my subordinates and peers in my current job.

Overall this was an interesting experience and I enjoyed filling out the workbook, Discovering Your Passion. I would certainly recommend it to my co-workers and friends that are experiencing moral problems or dissatisfaction with their current job. --Reviewed by A.J. Cooper Reader Views (Austin, Texas)

5.0 out of 5 stars I disagree with previous review, November 1, 2007
By 
I thoroughly disagree with the comments of MDS. I found Discovering Your Passion to be very helpful. Yes, it helped me look more closely at my strengths and weaknesses (which is important to choosing a career direction), but throughout the workbook, I was asked many questions which required deeper thought and contemplation. The majority of the questions required much more than a "yes" or "no" response. The mind mapping and goal setting sections were both enlightening and grounding. Though I have my own business, this book helped me gain clarity and motivation to focus on what I enjoy doing most, versus following current trends. I highly recommend this book.

More About the Author

Kennette Reed grew up in Berkeley, CA (affectionately known as "Bezerkly", in the 60s). When asked about how it was to grow up in a town like Berkeley, she smiles and says, "It was a priceless experience. The 60s were a time of constant change. Though Berkeley was laid back in many ways, it was also the hub of a changing society and a melting pot of cultures." Kennette has since become a Southern implant and loves the slower pace and charm of the South.

Kennette Reed is the principal consultant, trainer and success coach at Kennette Reed & Associates and Resilience Coaching. KRA Publications is also an outgrowth of these business endeavors. About her business ventures, she says, "I've been an entrepreneur for most of my life. Commerce has been of interested to me since I was a kid. I was always excited when it was time to sell Camp Fire Girl mints or raffle tickets. Selling products or services was a challenge I enjoyed then and still enjoy now."

Marketing, sales and consumer research have also been the areas of Kennette's corporate life. From Field Consumer Research Associate to National Product Marketing Manager, she has worked with small and nationwide organizations.

In her spare time, Kennette enjoys spending time with family and creating. Her creative pursuits include, writing, interior design, crafting and gardening. "I enjoy imagining the possibilites, developing a plan for their realization and experiencing the actualization of what I imagined. For me, there is no greater satisfaction."

Kennette is the author of numerous books and articles. Her books include:

From Idea to Author: How to Become Successfully Published
Discovering Your Passion: The Thing That Makes Your Heart Sing
and
Steps Along Your Path: 52 Weeks of Path Clearing & Inspiration
