Career Coward's Guide - Have Courage!
I just had to write a quick review of this little gem of a book. Don't judge a book by its cover. It actually takes a lot of courage to align our values, our work, and our lives with the divine inside. I believe that is the purpose of this book and it does the job very well. As a recent career changer, I have read many books on this topic. What sets this book apart is that it avoids digging into past pyschological hang ups and focuses on the work at hand. As you work through the exercises you begin to see possibilities rather than limitations. With solid information at our finger tips, barriers previously faced seem much easier to overcome. We all like to be guided along and this book offers expert guidance in a warm, personal tone. You will feel like author Katy Piotrowski is personally helping you take the steps needed to discover the work you were meant to do. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is really ready to explore career options and make lasting life changes.

Light bulb moment for DianaFromIowa
This is a great workbook for anyone who as ever thought of changing careers. My confidence rose with each chapter. The "panic points" seemed to be reading my thoughts and doubts. After putting together my career choices compass, I had a light bulb moment. I now realize that I have several career options that I didn't see before. After working in one career most of my life, nursing, I now feel ready to make a career change into a more creative, fun, and less stressful job. I plan to buy this book for my son for Christmas.
