4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and easy to read, but not stand-alone, May 13 1998
By A Customer
This book is well written, fun, and a great source of ideas if you already know your Myers-Briggs type. If you don't, the section on identifying your type is weak; I recommend Kiersey's "Please Understand Me" instead (or inquire at your local educational institutions: I took the Myers-Briggs, had it professionally interpreted, and got loads of helpful reference material from a $40 seminar at a community college).
The book is most useful if you're discontented with your present career (or have qualms about the career you're preparing for, if you're a student). I was railroaded into a career that didn't suit me because of my family's expectations, although I was determined and intelligent enough to become moderately good at it. But I never felt comfortable with it, and it was only after many unhappy years that I realized I was in the wrong job and broke away to find a more congenial career path. I wish this book had existed 30 years ago!
I agree with other readers that the book is short on practical guidance as to WHICH career you should choose -- I've found Barbara Sher's books much more helpful. Nonetheless, this is a good place to start, at a reasonable price, and it's excellent as far as it goes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Want to be happier at work?, Dec 11 2002
By Hsiao-lung Chang "neuroshock.com" (Davie, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Do What You Are: Revised & Updated Edition Featuring E-Careers For The 21st (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful tool for those just starting to get into the workplace, for those that have been in the workplace and for anyone looking to make a career change.

It is well origanized/written. The chapters move along at the right pace, giving you information and examples right at the same time. The examples really help clear up which personality type you feel/think is you.

It is also very objective, letting you decide on everything. Without a hint of opinion from the writers. The writers do not waste your time by talking about themselves, and also are not condescending in any way as some self-help books can be.

This book will help you understand more about yourself and those around you.

The job list could be a bit more robust, but is enough to give you an idea on what you should be looking for in most fields.

Start your journey to the right career, right here!

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful approach, Jan 18 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Do What You Are: Revised & Updated Edition Featuring E-Careers For The 21st (Paperback)
I have long been a follower of MBTI, I have applied it in several ways - personal relationships, professional relationships, etc.. but in recent months I have really been questioning if my job is "right" for me.. This book sheds tremendous light on the concept of type as it pertains to career happiness. It is a MUST read for those who are already intrigued by MBTI studies and a DEFINITE read for those who are unhappy in the workplace and just starting to put a plan of action together.
