A Timeless Help
(Santa Clara, CA USA) March 8, 2002 - 5.0/5 stars

I owned various copies of this book many years ago but was not ready to tap into the potential I sensed it would release in me. Instead I pursued a long path toward education and training as a counselor, but then came to a threshold that I couldn't step over.

Job stress prompted me recently to take vacation, and I spent many hours soul searching using this book. The various exercises led me to articulate my vision and renewed my energy to continue on a path I'd spent years pursuing.

The result was a confirmation of what I intuitively knew about my vocation and increased confidence to act. The section on networking, researching, interviewing, and negotiating gives practical guidance. Lastly, the section on "finding one's mission in life" provides gentle discourse that accommodates and respects the reader who does not necessarily share the author's religion.

Now that I have effectively used this guide, I plan to share the strategies in my new position as an employment specialist working with mentally ill adults.

I am grateful to Mr. Bolles for his dedication to this work and for inspiring hope through his pragmatic optimism.
