4.0 out of 5 stars
For the YOUNG career-changer!,
By
This review is from: Trusting Your Own Inner Voice: The Most Important Skill to Learn in This Lifetime (Audio CD)
As a self-help writer and career coach, I'm always seeking new books to read, recommend and cite in my own work. Kieves offers an interesting but not especially unique perspective of career change. I kept asking myself, "Would this book have sold if Kieves had not graduated from Harvard?" The title is a little deceptive: Kieves may have it all, but in the book she was young, single and unencumbered. A forty-five-year-old career changer would bring a different perspetive. A twenty-something, very attractive young woman can have fun with a waitress gig. Twenty years later, she wouldn't exactly fit in. And Kieves did not "leave it all." She had just started her career and had considerably less invested than a forty-year-old who had just made partner. There are some very fine insights here but let's not underestimate Kieves's youth, personality, looks and apparent charisma, all factors that fast-forwarded her journey to freedom.

Inspirational as well as a fun and good read,
By Catherine Garland (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trusting Your Own Inner Voice: The Most Important Skill to Learn in This Lifetime (Audio CD)
I enjoyed this book immensely. It is a must-read for anyone still sitting on the fence wondering which side Life is; it will give just the right impetus to do what is right - follow our dreams and feed our souls. Far from being in any way just another how-to book, Tama tells us of her own experiences in taking the leap and how much richer life is now than before when she was a high paid, Harvard-trained corporate lawyer. It is also a really fun book to read - the author has a wonderful sense of humor and you will find yourself laughing with her all the way through. Laughing as well as celebrating with her. Thank you, Tama Kieves, for sharing this journey with us.

A Must Read For Those Yearning To Step Into Their Lives,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trusting Your Own Inner Voice: The Most Important Skill to Learn in This Lifetime (Audio CD)
I am a voracious reader and Executive Coach/Life Coach. One of my clients suggested I take a look at Tama Kieves' This Time I Dance. Rarely have I come across such a fresh and real book. It is wonderfully inspirational and funny - but then so are a lot of these types of books. What made it really special for me was the writing style. The author is a poet at heart and her prose is vibrant, rich and delicious. This is an author who talks about catching waterfalls in china bowls.Below are a few other special quotes: "Suddenly our desires aren't in the way or our productivity. They are the way. And just in case you're wondering, this current doesn't only favor people who do Hath yoga or chant with quartz crystals or donate money to environmental agencies...You don't have to be Wayne Dyer, Mary Poppins, Yoda or Shirley Maclaine. Just you, you with a mind full of shadows and a lantern of a heart." "Draw a line. Take back your time. You can't wait for your heart to bloom with a vision in the middle of days teeming with madness and maintenance. Nothing flutters into a cluttered life. The frantic and exhausted mind does not possess the energy to inspire a love-filled path. But you can find a way to curb or flee the madness. And when you do your dream can find its way to you." "The hero's journey creates the hero. Heroes don't skip steps, bribe the bouncer or jet off to lush destinations. That's tourism. Heroism doesn't mark a change in position - but a change in self."
