4.0 out of 5 stars For the YOUNG career-changer!, June 4, 2002

By	Dr Cathy Goodwin (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An indispensible guide for the journey, May 3, 2002

By	P. Lozar "plozar" (Santa Fe, NM USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I've read a lot of "creating your true work" guides lately, and after a while they all begin to sound alike. This is one of the few that didn't. The author's lively, supple prose is worth reading even if you're not planning to emulate her, and her frankness about her own struggles and doubts, as well as her joys and successes, is refreshing. But what makes her book stand out from the rest is the focus on -- as her title states -- "trusting the journey." Changing your life isn't an overnight transformation: it's a journey that can take many months or years; you'll traverse deserts and jungles and rain forests; you'll scale mountain highs as well as (on occasion) fall into the pits; and, although you'll eventually feel at ease with where you're going, in reality the journey never ends. Kieves has been through it all, and provides a reassuring "road map" of the process.

I was especially struck by her chapter on "Only the real dream will do": she points out that, although it's tempting to try to turn your dreams into a "practical" career, only the real dream gives you the emotional strength to put up with the inevitable hardships and setbacks; her efforts to pursue free-lance writing that "sort of" allowed her to follow her dream soon fizzled. I've been there, I've done that, and, believe me, she's absolutely right!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational as well as a fun and good read, November 30, 2001

By	Catherine Garland "pushka" (Colorado) - See all my reviews

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.
