Summary: A Good Read!
Review: Surprise! This self-help book offers plenty you haven't already seen a thousand times. Geoffrey Bellman's useful, well-written guide will set a few light bulbs popping in your head regarding your personal and professional paths. He includes thinking exercises designed to widen your perspective on everything from why the world isn't behaving the way you thought it would, to your passion (or lack thereof) for your work. We [...] suggest this book to those interested in expanding their perceptions about their personal and professional lives. You walk a path whether you are conscious about it or not, so why not be conscious?

Summary: The Best Book on How to Combine Work and Life!
Review: This book is the best guide to focusing your life and work I've found anywhere. This isn't just a guide aimed at people who don't have any idea where to start, this is the "advanced course." It is just as valuable for people who have enjoyed a lot of success in their life as for people who haven't yet found their niche.

In addition to offering a series of different frameworks to help you think about your life and work from a variety of perspectives, Bellman's book provides exercises to help the reader take concepts and apply them to your own life. Unlike many self-help manuals, this one goes beyond superficial "touchy feely" stuff and presents challenging questions which are worth answering.

One of the things I appreciate about this book most is that it doesn't minimize the complexity and conflicting forces that are part of any life. Instead, it suggest some ways to define your purpose, your signature path, and make it the force that provides energy and focus for dealing with challenges.

I've given this book to many friends and colleagues to read on vacation, on sabbatical, and on the plane. I would recommend it highly to those who are thinking about changing careers, considering how best to use their talents and resources in the next phase of their life, or just giving themselves a tune-up to make sure that they're on the right path.

Summary: Not recommended
Review: Too much jargon and not enough information related to consulting. As a self-help book there are much better books on the market. The reading of the book for the tape is stilted and awkward. If you want to check out this book I recommend the book over the tape set. That way you can pick and choose what you want to review and return it if you don't like it.
