Review: After reading "Doing Work You Love", I had a better understanding of what it means to embark on a career. I had previously taken jobs to try them on for size, to see how they fit, to see if they "fit" me...only to end up loathing getting up in the morning! Speaking from her own experiences, Ms. Gilman's writing is engaging and humerous, yet to the point and no-nonsense.

Summary: Empowering!
Review: EVERYONE should read this book. While you read it, you'll be reminded that we all have choices in life and that all of us can and should be 'doing work that we love.' I found this book very empowering. The text is easy-to-read and follow, the exercises are very insightful, and the "Aphorisms and Reminders" at the back are extremely empowering. I found myself jotting them down in places I could see them, and I still review them to keep me motivated. I felt so empowered by this book that I made the decision to leave my job in search of Work That I Love and I have never looked back. Cheryl Gilman provides a forum for you to explore your own options, be it staying where you are, or moving on...the CHOICE is up to you! A big THANK YOU to Cheryl Gilman for guiding me along my journey in rediscovering who I am and what I want to do in life. An exceptionally good book.

Summary: After an extensive search, finally someone understands......
Review: Thank you Cheryl Gilman! I have been uncertian of my place in the career world for many years. Unhappy in the work I had been doing, I picked up "Doing Work You Love" and have been extremely pleased with the content and format of the book. Easy to follow, it asks the questions that I have been dodging for years. It is a career search guide as well as a workbook to my future. The key to acheiving results is putting in the 100% effort it takes to get where you want to go. An easy read, but stop to take the time to participate in the "Try This" sections. You'll be glad you did.
