Some useful info, but not enough,
By
This review is from: In My Wildest Dreams: Simple Steps To A Fabulous Life (Paperback)
Gail Blanke's "In My Wildest Dreams" offers some good advice for brainstorming and planning a career that suits your passions, but not enough to earn it a place among classic career counseling books like "What Color is My Parachute" and "Do What You Are." I felt galvanized after I read it, but was struck that much of the ideas and advice had a familiar ring to them, and several I had tried before.The book is designed like a seminar, with fictionalized participants taking the steps and responding as they would. I found this style choice effective but a little labored. The advice will be familiar to many: pinpoint your passion, brainstorm ideas of how to transfer your ruling passion into a career of your own design, and build a network to launch from. There is a chapter on specific goal setting, where Blanke likens goals to a mountaintop, with specific actions leading up the pinnacle. Her ball-of-fire personality comes through in her writing -- I'm sure her seminars are great. A decent career building tool -- effective without being groundbreaking.

Awesome book. I have read it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. I was so impressed by this book based on the workshops Gail Blanke's Lifedesigns company does. After reading the book I wanted to go to one of these workshops. There weren't any scheduled in my area, so I called Lifedesigns. They have now scheduled one in NC and I can't wait to experience this book in real life. If you have dreams-read this book and do the exercises.

I have read a number of "self help" books and this one was incredibly solid and practical while making me understand that my wildest dreams are possible. Incredible!!
