This review is from: The Magic of Getting What You Want (Paperback)

I was "downsized" out of my 20-year career with a major company. As I was beginning to deal with "issues", I came across this book. It truly put me on the right path back. I found it extremely uplifting; it reinforced my "principles" and it's helped me to begin dealing with my situation in a more objective way. I highly recommend it to anyone who's experienced job loss and is preparing to make a comeback!

This review is from: The Magic of Getting What You Want (Paperback)

Dr Schwartz may have written this book over 20 years ago, but his message transends decades. Easy to swallow snippets of examples in how to improve one's life never grow old. One thing I enjoyed and you will to, is the end of chapter summaries. They each give an overview of the stories told previously and help those of us, who want to use this book as a reference in our everyday lives. This book will join my annual must read list as a refresher on how to be a better family member, mate, employee, employer and friend.

I found this book a good plan to live life by and conduct business by. Some NA sayers will criticize the straight forward approach to conducting one self but I believe the contents of this book are a good road map to a more satisfying life.
