5.0 out of 5 stars A book that easily catapults you into the next level!, April 15, 2005

By	A reader - See all my reviews

I found Leslie's book accidentally a year ago in an airport bookstore. I had no idea what the book was about, only that I was burned out working in a small job in a toxic work environment. It was so inexpensive, I bought it. When I began to sift through it, I wondered how these little simple worksheets would be able to do anything like the cover promised - rekindling the passion.
I could not have been more wrong. Once I started reading the book, so simple in language, and did my first worksheet - I realized in just a few questions- deeper issues that I was unaware of that were driving my passion and also fueling my fear. I had a lifelong dream but was hiding out as a passionate workaholic in smaller jobs.
Leslie's book not only gently and simply will dig things out at the root but will inspire you to get up, take step by step, and will make sure that this time, you will do it with BALANCE.
This book is so incredibly healthy, and it has become my companion over the last year. The worksheets are a wonder (especially the Synergy Plan worksheet). I recommend making an electronic version and updating it as you progress (and you will progress through those steps with Leslie's help).
Because of this book, I left my old toxic workplace and opened my horizons to being on my path. I am now in a new position I love for the timebeing, have balance, and am pursuing my lifelong dream career in parallel. I carry the Synergy Plan Worksheet with me in my organizer and refer to it regularly to take the next steps. Step by step, this book will lead you there. It's worth every penny and more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice for men as well as women in this book!, July 6, 2004

By	John Corso "John Corso, MD author of Stupid R... (Central Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked up my wife's copy of this book and she let me keep it for myself a few days. Thanks Debi! What a help to anyone who has lost the spark of their career and/or personal life is floundering while trying to find it again!

Ms. Godwin demonstrates in simple, common sense examples how easily we can become derailed from a more fulfilling life and career, even with the best of intentions toward finding a healthy balance between and within both. She then supports these insights with dozens of practical questions and suggestions that help us see where we made wrong steps and guide us toward correcting the mistakes.

This book has made a big differnce in how I approach my professional life, to the benefit of both my own happiness and the care of my patients. I now keep a copy of "From Burned Out to Fired Up" in my waiting room where many people are immediately drawn to it. I guess burnout is everywhere.

Thanks you Ms. Godwin!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing Book, April 11, 2005

By	C. Minler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Without a doubt this book has changed my life for the better. I have gone from deadend job to deadend job for the past 15 years now, but while reading this book it was like the fog finally lifted. I realized I needed to find the job I loved, not the job that simply paid the bills. Now I am on my way - finally. The exercises seem simple and I really didn't see how they would help me, but they did. They get right to the point and you discover things you didn't even know were an issue for you. I would reccommend this book to anyone who is in this situation.
