Publisher Description
If you suspect there could be more to life than what you're getting...if you always knew you could do anything if you only knew what it was, this extraordinary book is about to prove you right! A life without direction is a life without passion. The dynamic follow-up to the phenomenal best-seller Wishcraft, I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was (the New York Times Bestseller) guides you, not to another unsatisfying job, but to a richly rewarding career rooted in your heart's desire. And in a work of true emancipation, this life-changing sourcebook reveals how you can recapture "long lost" goals, overcome the blocks that inhibit your success, decide what you want to be, and live your dreams forever! You will learn: * What to do if you never chose to be what you are. * How to get off the fast track--and on to the right track. * First aid techniques for paralyzing chronic negativity. * How to regroup when you've lost your big dream. * To stop waiting for luck--and start creating it.

"This should be of great help to anyone who's feeling stuck and is wondering about what his/her life's work is supposed to be. I learned much about myself (and my parents) and am feeling the beginnings of liberation from a lot of negativity that has plagued my thinking about what I want. "

" The main point of the book is to GET MOVING on making some career decisions, and that's what i'm going to do...after I get through this weekend. ;-) Very thorough for people in different stages of life thinking about a career change. You just have to start somewhere! Solid read. "

" Found this at Goodwill for a dollar, and I actually do like some of the ideas in the "I want too many things" chapter. For instance: instead of wasting time worrying about which of my 20 interests/hobbies to follow... just make a 20-year plan of tackling one or two at a time. Or make one a career, and another a weekend hobby, and another a daily thing to read on the subway, and so on, so that you can feel like you're tackling them all without conflict. "

" Barbara Sher is a favorite. Her approach is so radical and inspirational. I hate to say anything bad about her because I've used her method quite often. Anyway, here it is: she seems to write the same book over and over. "
