What Customers Say About The Pathfinder: How to Choose or Change Your Career for a Lifetime of Satisfaction and Success:

This book was rated as like new, and had highlighted areas from a previous owner

Took way less time to go through. And we can all use as much career advice as we can find. This is a good book with sound advice. Pathfinder has long chatty passages, and I'm personally not interested in reading a book per se, instead I prefer a job-search tool. My main quibble is the format of this book -- it's long, nearly 400 pages. I personally found Find Your Perfect Job to be more effective because it is short and to-the-point, yet still crammed with helpful advice. This is the other book I'm talking about, it just came out this year. Find Your Perfect Job: The Inside Guide for Young Professionals

I saw this book recommended in another career book and got it from the library.Using it for six weeks really impressed me, and now I am purchasing it for my own.What I like about it/ why it is so useful for me:positive, yet realistic attitude and approachhelps support my belief that I CAN have a job I love that suits me really wellfascinating exploration into how to make choices, what is free choice, so helpfulevident that it has been written from extensive experience counselling others;feels very grounded in practical experienceGREAT and simple tools for getting in touch with wants and needs(I'm using them in all areas of my life) AND translating that into actiontools and inspiration that will be useful for me for many years, I can come back to it again and again, a rich resourcegreat simple guide to writing a strong resume

Plus, the links to websites provided aren't that great. The author clearly shows mastered experience in career counseling (in fact, he has his own professional institute called "Rockport Institute").The book is a bit long, but like a Harry Potter book, it's just filled with life experiences and engaging metaphorical examples with easy to understand lessons and exercises.CONS: he does try to market "Pathfinder" a bit too much like it's some kind of mystic tool you got to buy, but I'd just ignore that and get on to the life stories. Other than that everything else is pretty good.While "What color is your parachute" continually gets updated too often listening to every little nitpick, it loses out on essential information and compensates through short (often redundant religious) information that doesn't really help. most of the time it's mediocre stuff made from the 90's (no html 5, just really old fashion flash or out-of-date surveys or questionnaires).BOTTOM LINE:If I had to spend $20 on a career book, I'd choose "Pathfinder" by Nicholas Lore, career coach extraordinaire over any other book (or school counselor for that matter) any day.This book is perfect for high schoolers, lost college students, (or any student for that matter) or person who got laid off and needs to be on the rebound to learn how to market oneself. This book has it all.

This book is a winner. Armed with these two masterpieces you can't fail. Use the time you have to read this book wisely as the exercises become an exploration of your true intentions.

That having been said, I LOVED IT. I'm not a massage therapist in any respect but her book was STILL A VALUE. It is not for those who really don't want to hear the truth, do the work, and get over their negative connotations.

For people interested in really making a great career I also read, love and recommend Meagan Holub's The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a massage Therapist. I found it so refreshing that someone, although speaking in a highly comprehensible manner, made me feel like I had to know I was worth what I was looking for. No games in this book (many exercises though).

I learned how to take my passion and skill, own it and take it the next level. Unless of course all you do is read, you have to DO.
