 A book about courage July 12, 2010
Ronald J. Conlon (USA)
I see a lot of whining in some of the reviews below. People seem to want to know how to identify what they love, how to turn that into a career and how much money they should expect from it. I don't think that's what the book is about. This book is a sort of "follow your dreams" book, with many examples of people doing just that. I think it appeals more to the entrepreneurial types more than those just looking to switch one corporate job for another. The author's more recent work seems to support that.
There's no guarantees in life, people. If you don't know what you love, try doing a whole bunch of things- take a class, bake a cake, read a book, attend a lecture, buy a 1957 Evinrude outboard motor and try fix it. There isn't one magic thing out there. But if you try a lot, you'll find something that interests and excites you. Did you date every person in the world before you settled down with your spouse? No, and yet you found someone you loved. Do you worry that there might be someone halfway around the globe that you might be able to love a little more? For your marriage, I hope not. :)
Now, you also have to face the fact that you have to provide something to somebody in order to get some money in return. So if you find you love eating ice cream and watching tv with your cat, you may not find any takers.
And again, this is the work that YOU will have to do in order to succeed. You have to take yourself and your dreams seriously and find a way to succeed at it. So if you love painting and want to be a painter AS A PROFESSION, then learn and practice until you are producing good stuff. Network with other people to see what stuff they're doing and how they are getting stuff sold. And then you are going to have to manage the business part of it. If you aren't willing to do the business-y side of it, or contract with someone who will do it for you, the money ain't gonna happen.
Cheers, and best of luck.
Do what you love, the money will follow. June 10, 2010
I bought this book recently. To know such a title exists, it has taken many years of reading!
Yes Marsha is right.
Not all jobs interest us.
We would not live and die for anything which does not resonate with the core of who we are.
'The best way to relate to Work is to choose it consciously', she says.
Many of us are pushed early in our life into some line of activity to fulfil our survival needs.
But then identifiying this `passion' takes some time. But, definitely, one can find out what one's passion is if he is in constanct communication with his inner self. (In fact, if you ask this question where the preferences of this `inner self' is coming from, the Eastern spirituali gurus will say it comes from the soul's karmic continuity!)
Excellent book for those who feel lost in life. Looks like after reading this, I have confirmed or reconfirmed the fact that I do have `propensities emanating from the inner self'. In my case, training/explaining life interests me or it possesses me naturally!
Thanks Marsha madam. Your book can bring life back into a `dead' person.
There is more to life than an ordinary man understands! Marsha's book is pure spirituality dressed in logic and intellect.

The decision to do what we love sooner or later pays off. August 7, 2009

Not long after she changed the direction of her career and moved to the countryside, Sinetar worked only on the projects she loved. Her financial needs were always met. What's more, she is surprised to find that she feels wealthy, whilst others who works crazy hours to become rich will seem poor-a case of "Do what you love and money won't matter as much". The paradox is that by pursuing what you love, you tap into a source of energy that fires you on to do excellent, unique work. Your work inevitably gets recognised and people will be willing to pay good money for it. For this people, there is little difference between the work they do and recreation, and there is no need to go on exotic holidays when their job is this compelling. It is more fun to stay home. You love your work not just because it teaches you a lot about yourself, but because it becomes a key to understanding life, the universe, and everything. The key is to realise that doing what you love is not a luxury, but a necessity in living a truly prosperous life.
Fantastic Guidance!!! July 14, 2009
Vincent Bellitto (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida)
Bought it for my sister's bday, but read it a few years ago. It truly boosted my faith in my abilities and really helped me practically realize how I can do what I love and get paid. That's what I do today! It got me thinking on the right track! Awesome READ!
A good book if you get past the ideal upbringing part. June 6, 2009

At first, I found this book daunting. She was pointing out how a wonderful childhood/upbringing made you successful and that you were doomed to failure if you missed that. I almost threw the book across the room. But I persevered and she had ideas on how to become more ideal - how to overcome the negative things you'd learned about yourself, etc.
It gives concrete suggestions and does not resort to fantasy thinking. It points out that there is no magical way to success.
