3.0 out of 5 stars Reviews?, 2 Jun 2007
By D. Burke - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The consistent spacing of reviews below, approx 1 per month, and none since then, all by 'Reader', and written at similar lengths in similar style, looks fishy...

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting book that makes a difference, 19 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This essentially practical book will enable you to reach a confident understanding of what it is that you really love doing and equip you to work out what you want to do with your life. It will then help you to go about achieving the necessary changes. This is not a book that will give you the answers on a plate. Through skilled, wise, sensitive and structured guidance, using a series of exercises for you to work through, it will enable you to find your own strengths and motivations from within your own experiences. That is why you can be confident about the outcome. But the corollary is that there is no point in starting the book unless you are able, and prepared, to invest time in working at it. You will get absolutely nowhere just by reading it through, but give it time and it works. In this way the book is a powerful antithesis to those "self-help" manuals that promise quick solutions to deep issues, yet are put down before the end or whose solutions are forgotten within a week. By the time you get to the end of the process set out in this book you will have achieved something that will be with you for life. You will have written your own "ideal role or job" description, developed criteria that will enable you to identify "best fit" roles or jobs and against which you can measure possibilities and options, and worked out an action plan to put what you have learned into practice in your own life situation. The energy that all of this can generate makes working with the book an exciting undertaking, as well as an immensely valuable one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Review ????, 17 Sep 2007
By A. Greenhalgh - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the previous review. All the reviews have been written spaced out and appear to have been written by the same person .... take a look at the style of writing. This has put me off purchasing the book.
