Review: I really got value from this book. I did the exercises and am finding more passion in my work and getting clearer on my priorities. While the information is easy to understand, putting it to work is what makes this book fantastic - the author shows you how to do it.

Summary: Invaluable, life-affirming assistance
Review: Terri Levine's Work Yourself Happy is a clearly presented, "user friendly", step-by-step "how to" guide for creating joy and satisfaction in one's life and work. Readers will receive invaluable, life-affirming assistance in considering career changes, getting promotions and pay increases, restructuring their job, improving skills on the job, doing their job with less effort and more success, how to leave the office behind at day's end, aspiring to become an entrepreneur, and more. Work Yourself Happy is enthusiastically recommended, occasionally inspiring reading for anyone seeking to improve themselves and their personal satisfactions in the workplace.

Summary: SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS ARE NOT A SIMPLE 1-2-3 LESSON!
Review: The author points out some common sense points in re-evaluating one's priorities, setting goals and reaching for your full potential. However, the book is extremely short (just over 100 pages) and gave me the impression I was taking a crash course in common sense fundamentals. The book covered such topics as career changes, getting what you want from the job, promotions and pay raises. It all sounds good in print but in the real world of business it is not all that easy. Success does not come in a quick, 1-2-3 lesson. It takes far more than determination and visualization to become tomorrow's success story. That is a good place to start but it is only the beginning. As one who has taught and counselled in business management for almost thirty years, there is a lot more to "Working Yourself Happy" that appears in this book! Many individuals have goals and dreams, but to make thema a reality, it also takes commitment, hard work, integrity, qualified skills, training, experience, and sometimes "just being in the right place at the right time." While the book makes for light, informative reading, it is not one I would highly recommend. The book lacks detail and anything you can really "sink your teeth into"; it is far too brief to be of any significant value in the business world.

Summary: Working Happier!
Review: This is a small book (only 104 pages), but it is really powerful. I'm writing this on the 2nd anniversary of Sept 11, and I can tell you this is the perfect 9/11 book. Face it, life is too short and why should we be spending a third to one half of our lives doing what we dislike. From my recent experience (and this book confirms it) you can be both happy and successful. In addition to other things, Terri reveals 5 Secrets to success in this book:
Secret 1. Accept That You Must Let Go Of The Past
Secret 2. Take A Close Look At Your Previous Endeavors
Secret 3. Get To Know Yourself Really Well
Secret 4. Create A Destination With Soul
Secret 5. Enjoy The Journey I interviewed Terri Levine on "The Inside Success Show" and I learned so much! She has developed a coaching system based on her experience, plus the insights she gained by being a speeck-language pathologist. Here's some other things you can learn from Terri: ** Terri Levine got good at her job even though she didn't like it
** Why you need to let go of the past and start looking forward in life
** How you can find exactly what type of job will bring you happiness
** What 3 steps you can take right now to start creating more happiness in your work
** Why everyone should be coached (you too if you want to be successful)
** How to avoid the mistakes that may be killing your chances for happiness in your work
** And much, much more .. Terri's love for life shines through in life and in her book. Randy (Dr. Proactive) Gilbert, author of "Success Bound"
