Summary: Straight scoop from a friend
Review: This book is different and worthwhile. I've been through all sorts of jobs, from high tech exec to recently becoming a student again. During each transition in my life I would go to the book store and buy a stack of books, hoping to find the answer inside. This book doesn't have the answer either. Instead it acknowledges that each of us has our own truth. What it does give you is: 1. hope that you can find your own (for-profit!) career that helps people in whatever area your own gifts lie, thereby adding meaning and fulfilment to your own life 2. inspiration that the path may not be short or easy but IS possible 3. key questions to help draw the answers from your soul 4. quotes from all sorts of people that ring so true you'll want one or more on your mirror 5. direction to resources to help you at both the makingalife.com site and other places I have known Mark since college. He could be making megabucks, not writing books. Why isn't he? Because he genuinely believes that all of us can and should be able to have purposeful work that makes us feel good about who we are and what we do every day - and be able to make a decent wage doing it. Anyone who has made "enough" money and found themselves feeling empty can tell you that money isn't all there is. Schools measure how many graduates get jobs and the size of their starting salaries. Mark is trying to help these same talented people see that money won't make them happy. See that once you get on that treadmill, it's not so easy to get off of it (email me if you don't believe this) like you say you will. I say, "Bravo!" This book can't give you your own answer to what the music is that plays in your soul. But it can and does tell the story of a dozen people's search and ultimate success in doing so. Let yourself be inspired by the examples, and I wish you the best of luck on your path. Have FUN!
