Book Reviews of Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work As a Pilgrimage of Identity
Book Review: A beautifully written guide to soul searching
Summary: 5 Stars
I always enjoy reading Whyte's work. Few writers have equaled his command of the English language and his story-telling ability. The book evokes a great deal of empathy as many modern day workers struggle to find personal meanings to work/employment. Whyte provides a personal insight into how one may purposefully stay true to oneself. The reading is relatively lighter than most of his poetic works and is very enjoyable and thought provoking. If one doesn't like the content, he/she will at least enjoy the author's mastery in writing, especially his transitions from one point to another. Whyte is one of the few authors that can weave together difficult concepts with artistic cohesiveness and elegance. Highly recommend it.Book Review: Deep Reflections on 9/11
Summary: 5 Stars
David's work has inspired me in very practical ways and it is truly a read for those who yearn for purpose in their lives. My constant discovery of my "firm persuasion" helps me both at work and at home and dealing with the insanity of 9/11. It is easily one of the top 50 books in my business library and I quote from it regularly when I teach managers and leaders! Book Review: Crossing the Unknown Sea Rave Review
Summary: 5 Stars

Wonder FULL stories, empowering insights, inviting intelligence, reassuring and
inspiring!
Book Review: A helluva guy
Summary: 4 Stars
But so enigmatic -- some readers think he's irish, some think he's welsh, some think he lives in New Zealand. Actually he's from Yorkshire, England, and lives near Seattle, but what the hell -- he's still a helluva guy. Book Review: Great Insight to Manage Life Transitions
Summary: 5 Stars
This books was great to provide the tools to face recent and ongoing life transitions. Interesting to note the poetic analogies and his observations from nature, in balance where the self meets the world. Seems that once one meets middle aged, we are motivated by fear instead of self identity, senses, feelings and action. I recommend this book for anyone that is open to discoveing their true self and working through the life transition that they are facing. I have bought several copies over the past few years as gifts to colleagues that need to exercise this side of the soul.
