How losing your job may be the best opportunity you ever have.

Whether you have ever been laid-off, down-sized, right-sized, or reorganized out of a job, then If you have never gone through this experience, as the world and the economy changes, the odds of this happening to you increase everyday. The challenge, what do you do on the first day of the rest of your life? The problem you face, is that quite often you feel isolated, angry, alone and disoriented. This is where Wiemelt's book can serve as a lifeline for you. What's nice about it is you don't have to read the whole thing in one sitting. You can pick it up at your leisure and jump from story to story. The emotions you may be feeling are common, and it is what you do with them, how you channel them into either something positive or negative is totally up to you. Wiemelt provides example after example of how others dealt with this situation. Some used their downtime to find their true passions in life. Others returned to the world of work, but with a renewed sense of passion and comittment. You quickly realize that you can make a difference in your own life and drive change for the better. For yourself. For your family. For those you love and care for. A worthwhile read and highly recommended.

It inspires you to want to venture "out of the box" and discover new potentials,and levels of happiness, success and satisfaction. Laid off is filled with inspiring stories of others who have found their passion due to unexpected circumstances in their lives.

Packed up the tent and moved across the country too

Whether laid off or time off, getting back into the swing of things can turn out to be more than one had bargained for. That was true in my case when I drove from Maine to Arizona to join my partner and start a new life adventure. This book was inspiring and comforting. Hearing other life travelers' stories always are and Kitty has written it in such a way as to offer you hope, encouragement, a push, an "a Ha!" and a way to make sure that the light at the end of the tunnel is the sun....not an oncoming train. I would highly recommend the book for both your head and your heart.

If you've ever been laid off, read this book!

Kitty's warmth and humor pervades the selection of the stories in this wonderful, life affirming book. If you've been laid off and are stressing about it, these inspiring stories will help you to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You'll understand that not all is lost, and this could very well be your time to do what you've always dreamed of doing. I recommend this book wholeheartedly, and am happy to see a positive spin on what is usually viewed as a negative event.
