Summary: Exceptional Writing and Essential Reading!
Comment: Wow! I recently picked up a copy of Julie Jansen's "I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This" and couldn't put it down. This book--destined to become a classic in the career section of every resource library--is the definitive guide to finding and maintaining meaningful work in the twenty-first century. It's no-nonsense approach to assessing and, if necessary, altering one's work situation is practical, clear, and concise, while, at the same time, managing to inject much needed warmth, humor, and hope to this most serious topic. As our jobs and careers become ever more impersonalized, quantified, and rationalized, there is an ever-increasing need for outstanding books like this, which can help us master all of the "corporate machinations" without losing sight of the personal skills, strengths, and attributes that make work--and life--truly satisfying.

Summary: Find Yourself en route to Gratifying Work
Comment: Ms. Jansen's new book is THE definitive resource for those seeking a job change or career makeover. Her series of self-assessments is both thorough and insightful. Definitely a tool to help one get more in touch with oneself -- essential before embarking on any job or career change. The author uses real examples to which the average person can relate. This is not just an executive job search tool, but one for career changers at every level -- those just starting out, those who are burned out, veteran job seekers, would-be entrepreneurs.... It's never too late to learn more about yourself, particularly during these challenging economic times when there's even more at stake with every career move. Read it, take the tests, and prepare to become enlightened!

Summary: Helpful exercises...easy read...very useful.
Comment: This title provides effective exercises for would-be career changers and entreprenuers. After spending 10 years in the corporate world and making a couple unsuccessful attempts at small business, I found myself thinking "I don't know what I want, but this isn't it." Locked into a career that pays well, but has little else to recommend it, I've been having a hard time finding a vocation that offers fulfillment, but doesn't involve going broke in the process. The exercises in this book helped me clarify what I want (and do not want) from my work-life and helped me to develop a plan to acheive it. I recommend using this book in conjunction with "Do What You Are" by Tieger.
