Summary: The Five most important questions
Review: Mary was able to ask five simple, but profound questions about any dream (or plan) to determine if it is was the right one. For those questions alone, this book is well worth the price. It starts out a little slow, but by the end it becomes a vital tool for living life. The guy who hated the book is so wrong. It's all about internal happiness.

Summary: Good as far as it goes, but ...
Review: Morrissey's personal story is inspiring, and many of her suggestions about how to make your dreams reality are excellent. But I found the book disappointing in one important respect: it assumes that you already have a firm grasp of what your dream is, and just need encouragement and guidance on how to make it come true. Some of us aren't clear WHAT our dream is, for reasons ranging from outright brainwashing by the parents and teachers we were trying to please ("you WANT to be a schoolteacher when you grow up, don't you?") to "never gave it much thought," and this book is no help whatseover if that's your predicament. I recommend instead Barbara Sher's "I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was," or Martha Beck's "Finding Your Own North Star," both of which will help you take that necessary first step towards identifying your dream.

Summary: Inspiring...
Review: There are two books I turn to when I need a little pick-me-up. One is Marianne Williamson's "A Return to Love," and the other is Mary Manin Morissey's "Building Your Field Of Dreams". Both veer towards the New Agey and talk about Jesus in ways that may turn readers off. But, if you can get past that, I recommend them. I've read both several times, and each time I do I feel better about the world for a few days. Mary Morissey's story is personal and inspirational, and I find that it has helped my career in many ways. This book understands that an essential part of succeeding in life is not allowing yourself to settle for less than what you want. We all do this from time to time, but are compelled by a still voice inside us telling us we aren't happy. When we actively pursue that which we're passionate about, time disappears and we live in the moment. I believe most people have a pursuit that makes them blissful, but making a living that way isn't always easy to conceptualize. It's easy to get mired down in a job that pays the bills, and that looks good on the resume. If you are in that place, this book may help you to move on. I turn to it when I am tempted to to settle, and I have found that its advice rings true. One step is titheing, which I never would have believed if I hadn't done it a few times. When you're down to your last money, give 10% to charity, Morissey advises, and you will attract money into your life. I've done this, and each time within three days money had appeared in my life from an unforseen source. I'm not sure why this works, but I have found that it does. Much of this advice can be found elsewhere; it is a general "think positive" type of book. I like this one in particular, though, because Morrissey is a dynamic personality. She was a teenage bride and mother, and has built an impressive career based on the principles outlined. She writes in a simple, well organized way that is easy to digest.

Summary: Worst book I've ever read!
Review: This book had a profoundly depressing effect on me. It tells you to search outside of yourself for happiness, and to chase silly dreams in the hope that achieving them will make you feel whole. Instead of this book, I recommend "Don't Just Do Something, Sit There." This book will teach you how to find happiness within.
