  1. I found the book useful and so did other people based on reviews. The book is a great tool and contributes to finding a solution to the issue we're discussing. I stand by my recommendation. Whether or not you choose to benefit from the book, it's there to help.
  2. I believe that people who pursue their passion and are fulfilled can contribute much more to the world than if they were doing it purely out of service to others, in a "self-sacrifice" type of mode. I think it's right to begin with a "self-centred" approach, which means knowing your strengths, interests and your inner talents and then figuring out how to offer them in a way that others can benefit. Only passion and continuous self-expression can sustain someone doing something for a long period of time. Benefitting others is a natural outcome of someone authentically applying themselves to the fullest in the activity they enjoy and master. That's just my opinion and experience. Passion definitely matters in achieving happiness.
  3. I'm so glad we're all talking about this, as it's a real issue for kids. It's also important to consider the everyday work environment one signs-up for when choosing a career. A person may be interested in the work content, but if the schedule, the cubicle life, the night shifts, the daily uniform, or working with sick people is not part of a lifestyle he or she wants to have, it won't lead to career happiness. It's good to visit potential places of work to see if they resonate with who the person is. It's especially important because, after kids graduate, these places become their everyday life for a long long time.
  4. In this book, the author includes her personal story with regards to her career choice. The book is filled with insights, encouragement and practical tips. I found it quite different from everything else I've read. :)
  5. Hi everyone, I recently discovered this great short book on Amazon to help students orient themselves towards the right career and study program in college. Thought other people on this forum would be interested as well. The book is called Secrets To A Great Career Choice. Highly recommend as a read.
