Here's your map if you're lost in the woods

This is the best book I've ever found on the subject of life-work
planning. Everyone knows that there are scads of books out there about beating out the competition and getting ahead in the best jobs. I read many of them. The problem with almost all of those books is that they urge you to package yourself for the "hot jobs" without first considering who you are as a unique human being and what your goals in life might be aside from making the most money possible. While money is certainly wonderful, psychologists have proven in multiple studies that no amount of money is enough to counteract the misery created by trying to force yourself to fit into a job that works against your inherent, God-given design. Believe me, I know that the results of those studies are accurate.....been there, done that. Experienced hell on earth. Dan Miller has an approach that leads to satisfaction. He shows you how to figure out what you want your life to look like, and then to figure out what work fits your personal definition of a satisfying life. Dan's approach leads to fulfillment and satisfaction. Most of the other books on career planning just set you up to become a statistic.....one of the people who has a heart attack on Monday morning as they face yet another week at the "job from hell". I highly recommend
48 Days To The Work You Love.

Sharing this book with everyone!

This book is great for two audiences: 1- those currently looking for a job/career change 2- anyone who wants to live more intentionally. It's full of great questions to get you thinking and full of very specific job search hints. I bought two copies. I read one and gave one as a gift. As I was barely finishing my copy, I had a conversation with someone who needed it so I gave it to him. Now I need to order at least two more! A great catalyst for life change/re-focusing!

Must read for anyone dissatisfied with their career

The process Dan takes the readers through is individual and thought provoking. There is homework that comes with this one, but it's completely worth the effort. Good luck to all who are in a transition phase.

Know Yourself and Seek Self Improvement

By Jeffrey W. Bennett, ISP, author of ISP Certification-The Industrial Security Professional Exam Manual and Under the Lontar Palm

This book reminded me that there is more to life than earning a paycheck and that success is a continuing journey. I read this book while on vacation in the Outer Banks. Excellent timeing because I had time to read and digest the material.

Though I was looking for a push to get a new job, this book encouraged me to use my strengths in my current job and to be successful there. I had realized some success in my new career field by using the skills that I had learned in the army.

After reading the book, I continued to study my career and soon made a daring move. I tested and earned certification in my profession and subsequently intervied for and landed a high level job with a different company. I also applied what I had learned in the book concerning what I enjoyed most...writing. I married the love of writing to my career and published the only study guide for the certification I had earlier earned.

This example of the union between skill and pleasure is what I believed Dan was trying to teach. Thanks for the great coaching.

Good Aid to Help You in Finding Your Ideal Career

In my humble opinion, Dan Miller has written a valuable tool to help you better understand yourself and transition into a better career. Some reviewers see the book as just another "cut and paste" title. Yes, there is some of that in the book, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded of things we have previously heard but forgot. Also, there is some new interesting information included in the book, particulary the ample number of websites you can access to help you along in your transition.

Among the important points covered in the book include:

1. Be true to your unique God-given characteristics.
2. Knowing how God has uniquely gifted you can help you go through change with clear direction and unshakeable purpose.
3. Keeping areas of your life in proper alignment.
4. The truly godly life is one of focused purpose.
5. Better to focus on your uniqueness with excellence rather than being mediocre in several areas.
6. Suggestions (introduction letter, resume, calling, research) that will improve your chances of getting a job.
7. What to consider during the interview.
8. Doing something you love increases the chances that you will succeed.
9. Your security is determined by your ability to define what you do that has value. Security no longer comes from the company.
10. Allow yourself downtime to think creatively about your job situation. Use this creativity to solve your career problems and realize new opportunities.
11. Look for what you love first. God will often use circumstances in our lives to lead us to higher levels of success that we would otherwise not explore (the proverbial example of the eaglet getting out of the mother eagle's nest applies here!).

An excellent aid to help you transition into a better opportunity. This has helped me think about what to do in the future. Highly recommended. Read and enjoy!
