One of the things I love about my career is that as part of my "continuing education" I can indulge my passion for reading books about career reinvention. I'll admit that having read so many books over the years, I now tend to scan more than read. But every once in a while, I read something so fresh, so compelling and so on target -- that I actually slow down, take notes and savor every word.
If you want a life-changing book that will really make a difference in your resolve to create a lifestyle-friendly career, get a copy of Creating Your Best Life: The Ultimate Life List Guide
by Caroline Miller. It is one of the best books I've read in a very long time.Unlike so many of the "rah-rah" self help books on the market that are heavy on cheerleading but light on substance, this book is rooted in scientific research that validates the importance of meaningful goal setting in creating successful outcomes. As one of the readers notes in his Amazon.com review, '"It is nearly impossible to read this book without reflecting on your life goals, what exists in your life that facilitates them, what obstacles get in the way, what successes can you build on from your past, and most interestingly, what occurs on the fringes of conscious awareness that pushes you toward your goals or pulls you away from them. Despite studying and teaching positive psychology for nearly a decade, I found myself scribbling all over the pages.
Has anyone else read this book? I'd love to hear your feedback.
