From Publishers Weekly
Co-founders of the online magazine Healthy Wealhty 'n' Wise, husband and wife team Bray and Attwood have produced a self-help guide with a simple test at its core, requiring readers to list and prioritize their goals, wants and desires, weeding and striking until they have just five "passions" listed; those are then held against one's life to determine how close one is to each (readers are encouraged to retake the test every six months). A full life steeped in passion is achievable, the authors assert, through the application of three concepts: intention, attention and "no tension." In part one, these concepts are explored in depth, along with seven steps for "Living Life Aligned with Passion"; part two puts these ideas into action. Throughout, the text is peppered with anecdotes, theories and analysis from experts and colleagues who have taken the test and put it to use in their lives. There's nothing revolutionary about Bray and Attwood's technique, but it's a simple (if not exactly "effortless") approach to organizing and prioritizing that's both practical and intuitive.

Customer Reviews

Poor Poor Poor
This book receives the award for staying in my possession the shortest time ever. It ended in the rubbish two hours after I received it.

This is Janet's story of how to rip you and thousands of others off. Add to that story minutia and pabulum.

Save your money and read the one star reviews. They are all true. The five star reviews are either from morons or the friends of the authors.

Delivers Exactly What It Promises, An Excellent Tool
*****
The Passion Test...as a former Life Coach I've been there, done it all...yet, this book had much to offer me. I found it to be fresh, exciting, effective. For those of us into self-improvement and personal growth, The Passion Test is a wonderful, intense tool for achieving maximum transformation at truly minimal cost.

The first half of the book is made up of narrative and powerful personal processes that the reader can do to help her/him discover their passions. The second half of the book consists of interviews with famous people (e.g., Dennis Waitley, Stephen Covey, Debbie Ford) who have followed their passions. The second half was fine, but the first part was incredible for me.

When I re-discovered my passions, I found it made the rest of my life clearer, and thus far more likely that I will have the kind of life I want. This process is one I will look forward to repeating periodically---semi-annually or so. The price of the book is so small---to deliver these processes in a seminar format would cost hundreds of dollars---and would be worth it!

It is your time
This is a very easy read, with a very simple process that will absolutely help you define yourself. And if you think you have already done that, then this book is even more important for you. Creating clarity is the first step towards achieving anything.

Maybe, just maybe you will be one of the few that can not relate to this book, but is it worth the time and money to determine that for yourself? Absolutely. I have read countless books on success, leadership, spirituality and everything in between, this book is a must for anyone seeking to create more abundance, joy and peace in their lives.
