I wish I had read this at age 10. March 3, 2010 Mike 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book has changed my life. Thanks to Dave Ramsey for recommending it. In this book Dan Miller tells you that its ok do do what you love. As a kid I was in love with big rigs (18-wheelers). But I allowed society, teachers, counselors, and even parents to steer me away from my dream and into college to study computer science and then mechanical engineering. I did not finish and ended up working in the public works sector because at least I was somewhat around trucks. After 5 years I left to go to school to finally learn to drive trucks. I love every minute of it. Shifting gears, backing, turning; its awesome. I would love to get into heavy equipment hauling and oversize loads. Bottom line-- do what God made you to do and money will follow. If you just chase money and don't love the work, you'll be miserable.
Great Book to Make you think February 10, 2010 April Johnson 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let me say this first, don't bother buying No More Mondays the book Dan Miller wrote after this one. Waste of Money. I may feel this way because I purchased both and its a lot of repeat. But I do believe 48 Days book is better when you dont have a clue what you want to do. The first 3 Chapters are very repetitive (Ok I get it, I hate my job and want to find the work I love). Chaper 4 it seems we get down to business. There's no application as another reviewer said. You have to figure out the application yourself (you have to be a go-getter), it asks questions to make you look inside. Another thing this book doesn't mention or at least I missed it, Dan Miller has a 48 day schedule on his website to follow. I didnt find it until after I had already read the book. [...]. This book helps you create resumes, cover letters, and other useful things. It goes over how to interview. However, this book is only a few pages so if you really need help creating a resume etc., get a book specifically on resumes or whatever you need. I believe this book is STEP 1. Its deffinitely not the solve-all but I still gave it a 5 stars because now I know exactly what I want to do thanks to this book, and looking at the other links he provided to persue my dream job.
Awesome book, learn how to find the work you love February 1, 2010 Linda Pike (Bangor, MI) Awesome book, learn how to think outside the box of working for a living and find out how to get the work you love.
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) 3 out of 5 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.
