More Helpful Advice from Dick Leider
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Leider and Shapiro have done it again, writing a book that speaks to a crucial issue in many people's lives. "What do I want to be when I grow up" is a question many of us are asking, at an age when one would think the question had been long answered. Like all of Dick Leider's books, this one is a very pleasant and calming read, filled with interesting stories and sound advice. Whistle While You Work, in combination with the Calling Cards, can give great insight for each individual into what type of work would be most rewarding, and what work environment most suitable. This is a very informative book.
Answering the Call
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Whistle While You Work speaks to what I hear daily from friends and colleagues, i.e., work without passion drains energy from life and nibbles away at the soul. This book takes a straightforward approach to how you can be personally responsible for discovering what work will suit you so well that work/energy/passion meld into one. Leider and Shapiro make the ultimate dream of "good work" seem possible, attainable and sustainable. The calling card exercise works so don't pass it up!
Whistle
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A must read no matter what stage of life you are at. This book can best be described as a guided journey, where critical questions are posed that lead the reader to reflect on where they are at in life with work and where they desire to be. One of the best aspects of this book was the real life stories of working professionals. These testimentaries fit very nicely into the general theme and flow of the book. Don't think twice about putting the whistle in your work!
Truly Inspirational!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a rare gift. It helps you ask and answer the questions that adults rarely ask anymore, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" and "What was I born to do?" The authors are talented story tellers and through their stories you understand the true meaning of what callings are. Then, they take you through an exercise with calling cards to help you find what your own calling is. Through this exercise you can truly see whether you are spending your time on this earth the way you should be. I loved their other book too, Repacking Your Bags. I am glad to see these authors writing together again.

Confucius once wrote: "Find a job you love, and you will never have to work another day in your life." This book is the first step towards making these words ring true in your life. It's a must read for anyone searching to find such a job to enhance their life.
