Featured Book of the Month-November 2007 Excuse Me, Your Job Is Waiting: Attract the work you want Laura George Hampton Roads Publishing Company, Inc. Genre: Business/Self Help Review This book is based on Lynn Grabhorn's Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting, four fundamental principles for attracting what we want to our lives; identify what we don't want, naming what we do want, getting into the feeling of what we want, and allowing what we want to flow into our lives. Laura George has applied these principles to the process of identifying the qualities that you want in a job. Excuse Me, Your Job Is Waiting: Attract the Work You Want provides insights, examples and exercises to help you connect with your own energy and achieve your goals. I am particularly drawn to Lynn Grabhorn's Laws of Attraction because it requires personal acknowledgement and action to achieve what you want. In other words, you create your life with your own energy. This is a concept that I believe wholeheartedly, even when my energy is bringing me what I don't want. If I can do that, I can get what I want with it as well. If your desire is to align your career with your passion, this book is a valuable tool to add to your job search resources |

Featured Book of the Month-January 2008 What Should I Do with My Life? The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question Written By: Po Bronson Published by Ballantine Books, The Random House Publishing Group a division of Random House, Inc. Genre: Self Help/Careers Review "What Should I Do with My Life?" profiles a multitude of people seeking meaning in what they do for a living. The stories are drawn from interviews and personal observations over a period of time. The most remarkable aspect of this book, to me is just how honest and sometimes raw these true stories are. The stories that Po Bronson included in this book are refreshingly real and within the reality of the stories, beautiful and messy spiritual journeys are captured. There is a freedom and relief that can be found in knowing that what to do with life is not always obvious nor easy! |
