Not Logical,
By Repairmanjack "rationalcoach" (The Beach) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow: Discovering Your Right Livelihood (Paperback)
"Do what you love and the money will follow". This is a statement of cause and effect. The cause is loving your work and effect is money. The problem is that this statement is a *non sequitor (definition below). Money does not follow a love for your work. Money follows, at the most fundamental level, the consumer demand for a product or service. Loving your work is absolutely the proper motivation for choosing a career. And it will give you job satisfaction, most likely enhance your overall happiness, increase your self-esteem and motivate you to greater productivity. However, it does not follow that doing what you love creates a consumer demand for what you do, or will help you overcome the competition (and I assume the competitors also love what they are doing!). Even if you are more productive, it won't generate dollars if no one wants what you are producing. Supply and demand determines the flow of dollars. I validated the above by (of course) looking at reality. A sample of what I considered: The majority of small businesses fail within the first 5 years. (Statistics place this number at between 70% and 80%). Many of these businesses end in bankruptcy. Most jobs that people love are very popular and very competitive. Detailed studies of free market economies and mixed economies. I looked at people I personally know that had switched careers to do what they loved - and I looked at the success rate. The majority are back at their old jobs, which they usually LIKED. Many people have turned what they love to do into a hobby when realizing that they could NOT make money doing what they love. I looked at my own situation. I love collecting English dishes. I researched and collected for 20 years, planning to go into this business when I retired. Now that I have retired, I find that there is no demand for the type of dishes I collected - that the demand is gone and will very probably not return in my lifetime. I did what I loved and lost money. The market demand determined my loss. (But still, I loved every minute of my collecting and would do it again!!) I'm certainly not saying don't try to do what you love. I am saying that there is not a fundamental cause and effect relationship between doing what you love and earning money. The cause and effect relationship is doing what you love and earning career satisfaction. And, the money MAY follow! *Webster's: non sequitor 1 : an inference that does not follow from the premises; specifically : a fallacy resulting from a simple conversion of a universal affirmative proposition or from the transposition of a condition and its consequent.

This was a great book with lots of interesting insights.I really liked how the author weaved storytelling into the book and explained the inner game associated with this change.

bland,
By A Customer
This review is from: Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow: Discovering Your Right Livelihood (Audio Cassette)
perhaps it's the fact that the author who narrates her own book has a very monotone, flat voice--this is the disadvantage to an audiobook--you have the voice and tone qualities to factor in also--which isn't entirely fair. i found it bland and heard my mind replying "yeah, but we know that--that's why i bought the book!" anyway, there is a man who asks her questions and she responds--audio interview format--
