Summary: To question your careeer, this i a must read
Review: Get control of your career and your expectations of what career means in your life. This book does a great job of guiding you along as you question wehre you are in life and where you want to be. Redundant at times and interactive "take control books" usually don't appeal to me, but this one is an expection.

Summary: More Helpful Advice from Dick Leider
Review: Leider and Shapiro have done it again, writing a book that speaks to a crucial issue in many people's lives. "What do I want to be when I grow up" is a question many of us are asking, at an age when one would think the question had been long answered. Like all of Dick Leider's books, this one is a very pleasant and calming read, filled with interesting stories and sound advice. Whistle While You Work, in combination with the Calling Cards, can give great insight for each individual into what type of work would be most rewarding, and what work environment most suitable. This is a very informative book.

Summary: Truly Inspirational!
Review: This book is a rare gift. It helps you ask and answer the questions that adults rarely ask anymore, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" and "What was I born to do?" The authors are talented story tellers and through their stories you understand the true meaning of what callings are. Then, they take you through an exercise with calling cards to help you find what your own calling is. Through this exercise you can truly see whether you are spending your time on this earth the way you should be. I loved their other book too, Repacking Your Bags. I am glad to see these authors writing together again.

Summary: Light-hearted but hard-headed
Review: This is an energizing and level-headed treatment of a subject that often gets much too "New Agey". The Calling Card exercise is fun, but its also a very practical approach to get you to think about what you do, and what you could do, in a way that's simultaneously concrete and visionary. Too often we get so hung up on specific, traditional job titles that we can't see what we're doing in a larger context. The Calling Cards really help you to identify your interests and reconceptualize your work history in a way that opens up a realm of new possibilities.

Summary: Answering the Call
Review: Whistle While You Work speaks to what I hear daily from friends and colleagues, i.e., work without passion drains energy from life and nibbles away at the soul. This book takes a straightforward approach to how you can be personally responsible for discovering what work will suit you so well that work/energy/passion meld into one. Leider and Shapiro make the ultimate dream of "good work" seem possible, attainable and sustainable. The calling card exercise works so don't pass it up!
