This book claims to be able to help anyone figure out their passion, but it does this poorly. It seems targeted, at best, toward able-bodied "average" folks. Anyone who's outside the normal Western experience will find the advice in this book to be little more than noise. It makes a lot of assumptions and bases the exercises and conclusions off of those, so any kind of deviation sinks the premise.

I LOVED THIS BOOK.

This isn't just a book about career advice or what you want to do with your lives. It delves deep into your childhood and brings up uncomfortable feelings. Which is good because as you read the book, you realized a lot about yourself and why you feel this way. Many a times, things go undetected when we were children. It's only now that we are maturing and growing, these little things from the past start sneaking up on you without your realizing it.

It's amazing. I recommend this book to all ages and everyone.

I thought that this was a good take on being stuck. There were exercises in it I hadn’t done before and I’m excited to out the lessons to practice. I borrowed this book from the library, but I may need to buy my own copy in case I need a refresher.
