Summary: A Life Changing, Essential Book
Review: Nancy's book not only changed my life five years ago, but has continued to enrich my understanding of why I receive enjoyment out of certain activities, why I haven't enjoyed specific jobs, how to make wise choices about opportunites that present themselves to me, and how to continue to pursue my dream. I would not have found the courage to follow my passion without her guidance. This is an essential book. It is thought-provoking, professional, and helps you see yourself and your career from a perspective unlike any other. It helps you identify ways you are limiting yourself without even realizing it, and gives you tools to overcome these unnecessary obstacles. I have given out over two dozen as gifts, and every single person has experienced significant, life-changing help from it. I can't imagine anyone not being grateful to have a copy.

Summary: Encouraging and Motivational
Review: This book helps you to discover your passion, build upon your strength, and take the necessary action that leads to fulfillment. It clearly delineates the "ten passion secrets" advocated by the author. It begins with knowing what you want, i.e., defining your goal and ends with arriving at your destination. In between those two steps are the other eight which comprise the process entailed.The insightful reflection she offers encourages you to enjoy the process of achievement, not just focus on the result. On commitment, she reminds us, "We develop a commitment to whatever we have spent time on: the more time, the stronger the commitment." She reinforces the importance of putting goals down on paper, noting that words in print are more permanent, they remind us of what we were thinking at a give time. She has some creative things to say about creativity. "The artist, like the entrepreneur, is primarily a solo type. Their values are generally not those of the majority of the population," she writes. In terms of like attracting like, she adds, "The only mind that can understand a creative mind is one that is also creative!" This is an insightful book. It's major drawback is it limits things to "looking in" for guidance, when God offers so much more for Christians.
