Anybody who recalls Joseph Campbell telling Bill Moyers "follow your bliss" has the gist of this self-help book. Sinetar throws in a few exercises for figuring WHAT you really love, but the basic idea is that old, old observation that you are likelier to be successful if you are working in a field you care about than if you are just punching a timecard.
'Likelier to be' is not, however, a word that comes easily to Sinetar and some folks will find the blind optimism of 'The Money Will Follow' a bit hard to swallow. Needless to say 'Trust in Allah but tie up your camel' is an adage always to be borne in mind when following this sort of advice, and everyone knows people who've done what they've loved and the money never appeared, let alone followed. It's to challenge this kind of pessimism that Sinetar has written her book, and she makes an engaging cheerleader.
There are lots of similar works and personally I think Napoleon Hill presents a better case, but Sinetar is a bit more up to date. Worth reading as an adjunct to other job-search books (like 'What Color is My Parachute'.)

Pow, pow, pow! Every point Marsha Sinetar makes in this
book hits home--sometimes painfully! For anyone who has
ever asked him or herself, "How did I end up in this job?",
this book is a revelation and a powerful guide to
re-examining one's attitudes toward life, love and work.
The author has done her research (see her excellent list
of references at the end of the book), she interweaves
concepts skillfully throughout, and her writing flows
wonderfully. You will find yourself underlining passage
after passage and consulting it again and again. Though
many good books have been written on this subject, this is
the one you will find yourself recommending to strangers,
pressing upon friends and keeping on your nightstand!
Shout it from the mountaintops!

I had heard a famous speaker talk about this book and wsa extremely thrilled to read it. It really gets to the psychology of doing work that you love and that earns you an income. Really good book. I would also recommend that you get a book called "Flow," by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Superb
Gets to the heart of the work and life thing - and it ain't the money. I think that is in the title to get people's attention. Read more

I really enjoyed this book
I found this book to be very useful and there were occasions when a light went on and a realisation dawned on me as to what I need to do. Very helpful.

This book is not recommended.
Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow should be better titled, the author does what she wants, and the money does follow. Read more
