A life changing book, 8 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lemming Conspiracy: How to Redirect Your Life from Stress to Balance (Includes Bibliographical References) (Hardcover)
After reading the first few pages of TLC, I had to put it down for a moment. The authors had described the last three years of my life almost perfectly. I didn't put it down again for two hours. I'm a highly compensated information worker who "has it all" by most people's standards, but still feels unfulfilled. TLC showed me how to examine my talents and skills and use them more effectively to achieve what I really want from my life. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

piercing and deep without being mired in pop psychology, 4 Jun 1998

Yes, finally a clear and direct approach to asking the questions we all need to be asking of ourselves, namely, "who am I, what do I want out of my life, and how do I go about asking the right questions which will provide a path for me to follow?" So many books of this genre are well-meaning but tend to wallow in emotionalism and pop-psychology babble once the deeper issues come up. I found these authors better able to cut through the cobwebs, and they provide a balanced framework for reaching the next level in our careers, our relationships, our lives. We all have patterns of behavior (conditioning) which we've learned, from family, friends, associates, which we can see only if we're willing to look at ourselves honestly - and what does THAT mean? This book can help. Certain patterns hold us back from being and living "real". We're all lemmings to a degree. The book is a fine guide on how to find the pearls of our true selves beneath the layers of family, school, business and social "systems" which in truth have only their own interests at heart. If you're serious about finding a way off the treadmill towards a balanced, value-driven and individual manner of living, buy this book and do this work. Your life will explode with richness.

Integrates the pieces one needs to develop a vision, 1 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lemming Conspiracy: How to Redirect Your Life from Stress to Balance (Includes Bibliographical References) (Hardcover)
I found this book well thought out as it first identifies and then helps the reader integrate all the pieces to the puzzle in creating a career and life vision. I have used this in a adult college course and all the students found the book both very helpful in understanding themselves and practical in working on the life/career pieces for themselves
