A great summer read for anyone desiring private consultation with a 90's "life coach," Tami Coyne delivers an approachable, entertaining, yet profound glimpse into the heart and soul of career angst to anyone searching for more soul satisfaction on the job. From the opening line, any reader will be drawn into a gentle self-explporation process, and more so for those readers who hate their current jobs and are looking for more from life than job title and paycheck. Through the author's examination of the negative and positive emotional states, we are led to discover that transmuting such negative emotions is the essential, alchemical first step to realizing your dream job and life aspirations, i.e., "your LIFE's work." The author also dares to ask us in our culturally conditioned quest to get ahead, do we know where we're going? Chapter 5 entitled "Make a Spiritual Resume" offers great brainstorming exercises (really soul-storming exercises) to uncover your core beliefs and examine your circumstances, which will elicit "answers" from even the most casual reader. This book is witness to the paradigm shift of our time and one of its hallmarks, the integration of the soul into our careers. You'll never ask simply "what do you do?" of someone after reading this book, but you'll be compelled to ask "what makes you tick and are you doing it?" beginning or further actualizing your own reevalutaion process in that moment.

No matter your job or stage of career, Tami Coyne's excellent book will help you figure out where you really want to go and how to get there. The book is not a step by step guide (which can be off putting) but easily gets the reader thinking in very concrete and productive terms about their own path to work they will enjoy. Anyone will benefit from reading this book. I heartily recommend it.

YOUR LIFE'S WORK by Tami Coyne is a rare book. The author doesn't tell the reader how to live or give one-size-fits-all instructions on what the reader should or should not do. Instead, the reader is taken on a journey of self-discovery. I enjoyed the journey immensely and, by listening to Tami Coyne, I learned to listen to my own inner voice. "There is only One Life," Tami Coyne writes, "and you are it." It is so easy to forget that vital message. Tami Coyne brings it home on every page. YOUR LIFE'S WORK should be the next book you read!

I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy, yet intelligent read. The information and exercises were pertinent to any of us wanting to do our destiny (and get paid for it). The exercises helped me to focus on what I do best, and helped me realize what the next step will be for me to get there. Brava Tami!
