I disagree with previous reviewNov 01, 2007
By D. Fleck
I thoroughly disagree with the comments of MDS. I found Discovering Your Passion to be very helpful. Yes, it helped me look more closely at my strengths and weaknesses (which is important to choosing a career direction), but throughout the workbook, I was asked many questions which required deeper thought and contemplation. The majority of the questions required much more than a "yes" or "no" response. The mind mapping and goal setting sections were both enlightening and grounding. Though I have my own business, this book helped me gain clarity and motivation to focus on what I enjoy doing most, versus following current trends. I highly recommend this book.

This is a workbook to help guide a person in finding what they really enjoy doing in life. This is an opportunity to go through your life and your current goals and have them match as well as finding a job that you really enjoy.
There is really good information throughout the book that allows you to really examine what you are currently doing and determine if it really makes you happy. The artwork that is included is typical for any business and I have seen it used extensively in powerpoints and handouts. I could see this workbook being useful if a person is burned out or just starting their career. It would probably be helpful to a college student that was have a difficult time trying to determine their major. The assessments provided a wide scope of different areas and did not just focus on a particular field like other workbooks I have seen.
There is an opportunity for you to really compile a wide range of information about yourself and plug it into an overview to help get the big picture. There are some limited references and a large area to write down thoughts. The goal section has clear time frames that I believe every goal setting session calls for. There is a very interesting chapter on developing patience. I found this chapter the most interesting and the most useful. It would be nice to be able to just use this chapter for my subordinates and peers in my current job.
Overall this was an interesting experience and I enjoyed filling out the workbook, "Discovering Your Passion." I would certainly recommend it to my co-workers and friends that are experiencing moral problems or dissatisfaction with their current job.
Received book free of charge.

 Does not tell you anything newAug 23, 2007
By MDS

Was disappointed in it. The book though very well written, misses the point. Discovering your passion is meant to show you that, ie the steps to make you think and really dig into your past and heart to find what makes you "tick". Unfortunately, at least for me, it felt more like a book to get to know your strenghts and weaknesses nothing more. The workbook by gail.a.cassidy "dicover your passion" is 10 times more enlightening. Good luck in your journey...
