The Three Boxes of Life and How to Get Out of Them: An Introduction to Life/Work Planning7 reviews
Richard Nelson Bolles

Ten Speed Press, 1978

Still a mind-opener after all these years
I first read this book when it had been out only a few years, and it turned my head around. I had been brought up, like most children of the 'fifties, to think of life as a series of rigidly defined serial roles: first you were a student, then you were a worker, and finally you retired and got to do all the fun things you'd been putting off for the past 40-odd years. Having worked my way ... 		  
  







  
  
What Color Is Your Parachute? for Retirement: Planning Now for the Life You Want (What Color Is Your ...19 reviews
Richard Nelson Bolles, John E. Nelson

Ten Speed Press, 2007

Great read with great guidance and great referrals
This book is simply the best broad treatment of issues for the prospective retiree or already retired person that I am aware of. It covers all the bases and is presented in an easy-to-read style. It is meant to appeal to readers from a broad background and thus has content which is trivial in places (to me). But don't make reviewer George Fulmore's mistake of confusing the occasional trivial, ...

A great guide to find the job/career that you love

The author explores what school failed to teach us about finding jobs and offers practical suggestions for the entire job search process all the way up to salary negotiation. Some of the advice the author gives is very different that what we have typically been taught and he backs his statements up with specific figures. ...

Richard Nelson Bolles, Carol Christen, ...

Ten Speed Press, 2006

Definitely a crucial book for any teenager who cares about his/her future!
Wow! I wish I had this wonderful book when I was a teenager. I remember very vividly when I came across Richard Bolles' 'What Colour is Your Parachute', it was way back in the late 80's/early 90's. At that time, I was embarking on a journey to find out about what I wanted to do with the second half of my life. Naturally, I was attracted to this new book when I saw it in my local bookstore. ...

Career Guide for Creative and Unconventional People (Career Guide For...)21 reviews
Carol Eikleberry

Ten Speed Press, 2007

The Guiding Light
Pre-Eikleberry, I was beginning to believe that the possibility of having a stable yet creative career was a mere pipedream placed in my head by my idealistic liberal arts mentors. I was beginning to believe I had no other choice than to wither up inside the confines of a cubicle that would inevitably crush my dreams and my artistic potential. In this way, since my future was becoming hazy, ...

Richard Nelson Bolles

Ten Speed Pr, 2000

Don't Miss Out On What Others Obviously Have
Let me start by saying I am not just a huge fan of this annually updated guide book, I am an example of someone who actually "used" it and has benefited greatly by doing so (in other words, I found the work I was meant to do and have been enjoying it now for over five years!). Like anything in life, the more effort and work you put into following Mr. Bolles' advice, the more you get out of it. ...

Life changing classic

Epictetus: The Art of Living : The Classic Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness2 reviews

Audio Literature, 1997

Most helpful "self-help" audio I've ever encountered!
While some reviewers might object to the "updated" terminology of Lebell's adaptation of Epictetus' philosophy, I must say that the reason that this edition is so effective is largely because the "abstract", "scholarly", "dry" language that one usually encounters (with conventional translations of Epictetus' philosophy) has been replaced with a pleasing approximation of how Epictetus himself ... 		  
  







  
  
How To Find Your Mission In Life16 reviews
Richard Nelson Bolles

Ten Speed Press, 2005

Finding Value and Peace in the Workplace
This book in written with numerous references to the Christian Bible. The author is writting through his christian backgound and using christianity as his vocabulary. This is not to say that people of other faiths or no faith could not find value in this book. As he is writting in "big picture", "macro" terms it would be impossible to do so without using "God" terms. The book is simple and ...
