This review is from: Life Work Transitions.Com: Putting Your Spirit Online (Paperback)

I have started to keep Life Work Transitions.Com close at hand. There's so much good stuff here that I keep going back for more; turning over in my head what I've read; and looking forward to sections that I have not gotten to - yet.

Whether you're in the midst of a transition or trying to make sense of the constantly changing world of work and how you fit in, this book has the breadth and the depth to help you tackle the job. I like the tie-in to the Web site; but I like even more the balanced perspective that the two authors bring to the table. The book is both high tech and high touch, which in this "fast company" world of ours, we all need. This is a keeper.

Finally a career guide that helps you navigate and integrate the resources of the internet in your career journey. Knox and Butzel don't just have a bibliography, they give you the URL right in the text. You can read this book in front of your computer monitor! Your surfing will take on new meaning as you link to other useful information.

The model "Finding Your True North" is the best I have seen. User friendly to career voyager and counselor alike,it integrates the best of the past and creates something new. The Spiritual Autobiography activity is a powerful career assessment tool. This is one of many useful exercises to help you put your plan together.

These two seasoned career professionals have woven a new garment, bringing career development process to life and clothing us with the best of the internet's career resources. Bravo!
