Summary: Passion in the Workplace
Review: A few months ago I would sit at my desk and look with trepidation at the list of tasks and projects waiting for my attention. It sounds cliche, but I was another "burned out" lawyer. Then I read "Love the Work You're With." Many thanks to Whiteley for this informative and inspirational book. The book begins with stories from Whiteley's interviews with various people who love their work; be it directing traffic or selling furniture. Through various exercises and antedotes, Whiteley provides you with the means to find excitement about the way you earn a living. "Love the Work You're With" reminded me that most of us have control over where we work, what we do and how we feel about our jobs. By reading this book, I realized that knowing I am of service provides me with job satisfaction. I now get excited about my work when I acknowledge that I get to help individuals and businesses solve their problems. I recommend this book to anyone in any profession whose job is less than inspirational.

Summary: Mr. Whiteley Provides Another Great Tool!
Review: An excellent addition to my growing Richard Whiteley collection, this book does not disappoint! I have used Mr. Whiteley?s strategies/thinking from his previous works to effectively shape my company?s customer experience model. While the principles in this new book have certainly helped me personally become more motivated/productive, I have begun to use the principles in LTWYW to shape a more positive internal employee culture, thus extending our productivity and enhancing our customer service experience. An excellent book with a clear purpose and applicability!

Summary: A rare book of wisdom
Review: In Love the Work You're With, Richard Whiteley invites you to take a fresh look at your job situation. His purpose is not to persuade you to stay with a job you've outgrown or does not serve your values and ambitions. Rather, the exercises in the book guide you through the process of assessing whether the difficulties you experience with your work are due to your own point of view or to problems inherent in the job. This is a book about recognizing the potential in your current work situation for personal growth. I highly recommend this book if you are seeking a deeper understanding of the place of work in your life.

Summary: Vowel please Carol
Review: Life at the human resources salt mines has been transformed since reading Richard Whiteley's excellent motivational guide. He found new zest and enthusiasm in his career and so did I and his personal testimony is genuinely moving. "Watching the contestants actually getting excited being on my show used to give me a kick, but it soon palled. Slopping up this pre-primetime pap day-in-day-out was quite frankly doing my nut in and, though it may not have seemed that way, my ability to engage in on-screen anodyne banter was affected. I was in a rut. Career worries spilled out into my private life, and I wince when I think of all the drunken I-could-have-been-a-contender speeches I made to all those anonymous barflies. I'll be honest with you - I wanted Call My Bluff, and yes, I did once say that I wanted Robertson whacked." But Whiteley pulled himself back and the rest is history.
