Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-17 00:00:00 Bryan Scott I requested the very well-respected What Color Is Your Parachute? from the library, and they mistakenly sent me this (fortunately slim) volume of insulting nonsense instead. I decided to give it a quick glance, and all I can say is that this book will be useless to you if you are an agnostic or atheist. Bolles pays lip service to the notion that secular readers can read his book and benefit from it. But since the word "God" appears multiple times on every page, it is hard to escape that conclusion that Bolles believes the platitude that life has no mission or purpose without God. Sheer empirical data should argue against this, for there are surely atheists and agnostics who live good, meaningful, purposeful lives, and do so with the dignity of being fully responsible for one's own choices. For those of us who were just looking for a little help determining what the next phase of our lives might look like, the thinly veiled evangelism is grating. If I went to the doctor complaining of migraines, I would not expect to be told to pray, and it seems unprofessional to me that a career counselor would take on religion as his cause. If you are seeking spirituality, there are many better sources. And if you are seeking career counseling, you will find much better information elsewhere. In either case, this book is a total waste of time.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-23 00:00:00 Paul Dmura I read this in one setting and was about to dismiss it as "eh". But a few days later I picked it up again and had my journal next to me and ended up taking a lot of notes. There is quite some wisdom here and if the reader is not religious, it may take a bit of time to find it.
