really liked it
bookshelves: self-help

This self-help book was recommended to me by a friend when I was going through about a million bad things at once. One of those bad things: unemployed and at a juncture in my career where I have to figure out what path I want to take, and I was totally in the woods. Here I was reprocessing my entire life and worldview and at the same time I have to look for JOBS?? Ugh.

Anyway, the book is sometimes hokey and sometimes outdated, but the core of it is solid. It does two things:

1. Talks you through a bunch of exercises to help you figure out your interests, your skills, and what you really want out of life. You dig deep and start to process what you need to be happy. I found that my personal ideal life was shockingly simple and I don't think it's unattainable at all, which was a bigger relief than I can even describe.
2. Actually gives you a roadmap for pursuing what you want in a practical, real-steps kind of way. Gives you tools to deal with fear, panic, roadblocks.

It's not perfect but I'm very glad I read it. I have to focus on the job hunt right now so I haven't started my charts and formal plans yet, but it's comforting to know that when I am ready to start (and that should be in the very near future!), I'll have solid guidance right here on my shelf waiting for me.
