5 out of 5 stars A good book if you get past the ideal upbringing part.   June 6, 2009
Toniaann Smith
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.



2 out of 5 stars Not a Self-Help Book   November 20, 2008

The title of this book could be "Why Some People Do What They Love And Others Don't." It's not a guide to actually moving towards the state of bliss she describes, it's just a kind of descriptive summary of the fact that there are two kinds of people, those with high self-esteem, who, unsurprisingly, live really great lives including ones with careers that are rewarding and satisfying, and those with low self-esteem, who are afraid to take risks and pursue their dreams. Thank you, but isn't that already evident? And she doesn't explain what to do about that. If you read the book with low self-esteem, this isn't going to help you become someone with high self-esteem, nor will it help you find the career of your dreams. Her subtitle "Discovering Your Right Livelihood" is also inappropriate because she doesn't have any exercises or tips or advice. Most of the book is anecdotal: people she has talked to who have changed their lives by changing their careers. But she still doesn't tell readers how to do that. It's ok to skim through the book and take what you like, sort of like "Chicken Soup for the Soul" if you're looking for inspiration as to WHY doing this is good for you; but it's no how-to guide nor even a psychology or spiritual affirmation book to comfort or help stimulate you.

I started Ms. Sinetar's book feeling like one of the converted. I was looking for a way to talk to my students about following their hearts and being true to themselves when identifying the right college or vocational school or entering the workforce. DO WHAT YOU LOVE...offered meaningful insights that sparked a changed in the way I look at my own job, how I measure personal success, personal relationships, and my definition of self. It brought a whole new meaning to the term self-esteem. I've purchased a second copy for my students and highly recommend this book.

This is an inspiring book for those privileged enough to be able to follow its philosophy. I imagine that for the person who does not need to be concerned with keeping a roof over their head and food on their table for the foreseeable future, this book could be a great help in setting a direction. If you don't need the money NOW, and if you can do what you love for long enough, then maybe money will follow .... but only if what you love to do happens to be something someone else is willing to pay for.

I really enjoy this book and find its premise to be true. Many people settle into jobs they dislike and even hate. Doing what you love brings joys to all areas of your life. Sometimes we're afraid to make the leap into something that we love for monetary reasons, but the payoff is worth it.
