It worked for me. As an Annapolis grad, I always thought I would be a career naval officer. I changed my mind four years ago and used this text to map out the direction I wanted my professional life to take.

It has worked for all of my friends that have worked it. Don't short change yourself. Do all of the exercises in the book.

Half-measures with regard to this book and the exercises will leave you dissatisfied and lost. Do the exercises as outlined and you will get the results.

Good luck!
