Work Happy   January 14, 2010 John D. Farrar Not everything about work will make us happy. Yet far to many people just see a job as the pain we must all endure. You would think work was like being born handicapped as a member of society. Others can't wait for the weekend to be over so they can focus on the work they love. This book helps look at things through different glasses. Jobs alone don't make us happy but having the right ballance (which shifts from season to season) in life along side knowing who you are and what work you love can change your life for the better. You've heard it all before...   December 10, 2009 KV Trout (Los Angeles, CA USA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful I really found nothing much new in this book. It's the same old Career book, rearranged, recycled and updated a bit. One thing that I found really annoying is that the book constantly references God, as if we all believe in God or care about what The Bible says. Quite frankly, I question the intelligence of any author who relies on The Bible for his main source of quotes for a job search book. I know most people here in the U.S. call themselves Christians, but come on, what is God doing in a Career advice book? Surely there were more relevant books he could have quoted, and had he looked he might have found some really helpful quotes for those of us searching for work instead of just spreading religious dogma. The Resume' samples in this book are outdated, I wouldn't use them as guides. The main problem I have with the book is that it is just plain unrealistic, particularly in today's (bad) economy (Dec. 2009). Many of these techniques just plain won't work today and I wish someone would write a realistic book on job (not career!) hunting, for today's economy. But so far all I am finding in books is tired old adages and advice that doesn't apply. This book is another one of those. You might pick up a few lessons here, something worth a quick skim, but get it at the library, don't waste your money. This is NOT one of those books worth owning; you won't need to refer to it again and again. All in all, this is a pretty lousy book. Great Message, Bad Book!   October 29, 2009 egman (The birth of small d democracy) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful NOTE: my one-star criticism is largely of the way the book was communicated, not of the merit of the message contained within! It's an important point, however, so please read on.... Firstly, the book was eternally helpful to me in it's message: Be creative and take the reins in your professional life, but remember that your professional life is only one part of a full life. That's how I read it at least. Secondly, however, the book is horribly and irresponsibly written. It is obvious (although speculative on my part) that Miller juices the advice and insight he's gained and read through his life, plagiarised it, and spit it out in a sloppy mess of a notepad-turned book without the benefit of thoughtful development, organization, or meaingful revision. Shame on him for referencing dozens of "facts" and "statistics" without actual reference. It's poor form, a poor precedent, and irresposible. Miller flaunts his success like a steroid fueled athlete beats his chest in celebration of hollow triumphs, seemingly to say, "Suckers, see my hints, realize my con, and join my team of literary corruption! It's the destination not the journey that counts!". It is my humble estimation that we should be giving thanks not to his original thoughts (a theme he often beats upon in the book), but to those who he failed to cite in his blabberous stream of profit driven pages. At least he could have disclosed that he didn't cite anything except for his mini-quotations. Transparency was obviously not a concern of Miller's when he wrote this contradiction of a book. To list a number of recommended books at the end is useful at best. To provide license to my point - in the smoke-and-mirrors style of Miller - I will quote; "A real writer learns from earlier writers the way a boy learns from an apple orchard - by stealing what he has a taste for and can carry off." --Archibald MacLeish Great so far!   October 22, 2009 J. McIntyre (Colorado) There's a lot of common sense reminders in this book (I'm about halfway through it so far), but they are well worth the read, especially if you're in a time of questioning. And there's enough new and challenging information to make it relevant. For Christians, there's good and bad: there are good scriptural references that have good backing, and there are bad references that are bent to the author's liking, so just take it with a little salt. Overall, though, it's been a very good read, and it's worth getting or borrowing from a friend. Showing reviews 1-5 of 150 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...30Next » Qty 153 In Stock
