The author combines research, resources and information with real life stories to make a comprehensive guide to transition. It's written in a very reader-friendly tone. I've worked with people in transition for several years and have not seen a work that was so all-encompassing. Perfect for women in transition because it addresses all the issues we balance in the process of our daily lives. Highly recommend this book to any growth-oriented woman.

As a person who has had careers in human resources and business management, I found this book to be informative and practical. As a woman in career and life transition myself, I found this book to be a necessity. The author presents an abundant amount of information that every woman in career transition will find useful. The anecdotes interspersed throughout the book make the book enjoyable and easy-to-read.

Dr. Anderson has written an incredibly thorough book to help women through all aspects of career and life transitions. Her research and attention to every detail make this a powerful, practical and easy-to-use tool. The exercises create an interactive environment for optimum learning. The stories of women going through transition help bring the information alive. The resources encourage women to reach out for more support. Most any woman at any stage of her life can find something valuable in this book. Since most women change careers more than seven times over their lives and go through at least one life change per year, every woman should read this book.

The most inspiring part of this book is its wonderful real-life case studies of other women in transition. These studies really augment the how-to steps that Sandy Anderson offers in the text. My favorite: 36-year old University Lecturer and Researcher. She declared bankruptcy to pursue her life's work to teach in a university setting part-time. Unbelievable and ever-so inspiring.

Well written and information intense, Sandy Anderson provides help and a game plan for all women who find themselves in change. Sandy's organized and detailed book should be required reading for women before they realize it's time to find another job or make a change in their career pattern. I highly recommend it.

A quick read and packed with great ideas and new ways of thinking about transitions in your life.
