Customer Reviews

The perfect gift for those who hate their job.

So, OK, I bought a dozen copies to hand out to friends and clients- who are stuck in their life journey. This book may not have the answers (those are inside you) but it sure gives you the questions to ask. Personally- the one "Truth" that made this book worthwhile to me- and gave me the kick in the pants to do something different- was "Aspire to be the dumbest person in the room"- in other words- if you are always the brightest- you aren't aspiring to your potential. I can't say this book made me smarter- but it did help in getting me out of a rut- and sometimes that's all you need. Beautifully designed- it makes a great gift book.

Welcome to the New Workplace

Just when I thought I was alone, I found Radical Careering. It is helpful, interesting, and inspirational. I see it as being something I always will keep in my top desk drawer or brief case. The book provides not just great practical advice, but more than that, I think it creates an attitude to be emulated in the workplace. The Radical Truths are specific enough to provide good advice, yet broad enough to be applied across any myriad of situations or occupations. This book and the implications of its research are essential to anyone in the workplace today. This is the first step in something revolutionary. Radical Careering is more than just a book; it's a way of life and an inspired point of view.

Radical Revolution

This book is the career guide that others aspire to be. Concise, inspirational, and providing the encouragement to ask yourself the tough questions, Radical Careering has earned a permanent spot on my night-stand. I loved the fact that the book, although incredibly funny at times, managed to approach some pretty serious issues regarding the importance of a happy career to a happy life. Am I embarrassed to admit that reading this book was a life changing experience? No, I am not. After finishing it, I immediately went online and ordered three more for my closest friends.

Great book and especially easy to read!

With my job being as busy as it is, I barely have time to find a better one. I've tried books like this before and I've always found myself snoozing by the time I've hit the third chapter. This book was incredibly easy to read and cut straight to the points, which I loved. I pick it up and just flip to a page to get a good dose of inspiration for the day. It's pretty gutsy in how it's done and I liked that. Definitely helped me make some moves in my life and take me to a different place with how I feel about where I am already and where I can go.

a different kind of career book

I read career books all the time and this is the first one that I actually finished. It's totally different from other career books out there, which is a great thing for anyone who wants fresh thinking, new ideas and some inspiration that you can really embrace in your every day job. I like that this book is about maximizing your own potential and I find myself picking up the book and just randomly flipping through it to see what sparks. And there is always something that does. Great read - a definite must.
