Mark Albion addresses "
successful" businesspeople who feel as if their personal lives are not successful. He believes life
is too short to work at something that has no value to you. He presents real stories from his own life and the lives of others interspersed with uplifting quotes from philosophers, poets, and celebrities. While the stories - a selection of which are abstracted below - make for interesting reading, this book might be a little too "warm and fuzzy" for some readers.
Albion paints a perfect world where
all people work at jobs they enjoy, but he doesn’t spend enough time addressing the real difficulties involved in making a major life change. The shortage of specific instruction makes this book more valuable as a tool for inspiration than as a "step-by-step" guide to changing your lifestyle. getAbstract recommends this book for people who are unhappy with their current jobs and considering making a career change.
