Book Reviews of Professional Destiny
Book Review: Eye Opening and Life Changing
Summary: 5 Stars
There are quite a few things that I love about this book. And I think its best to enumerate in order to better digest the key points that, in my mind, make this book so unique:
1. Its written in a style as though the author is sitting right next to you speaking to you. You dont feel like you are being "talked at" or even "talked down to", you feel like you are not only being spoken to, but also listened to as well. Valerie gives examples of how she has felt and puts herself in your shoes or vice versa. She is not afraid to show her vulnerability, which is incredibly rare in the industry she has worked in for most of her life. I know this b/c I have worked in the same one. That is how I met her.
2. Having met with Valerie made it even more helpful when reading her book because I knew she wasnt just spouting rhetoric. She is living what she is writing. This is not a "self help" book that sends the message of "Do as I say, not as I do". And because of this, she has inspired me greatly. She has helped remove my fears about my purpose, who I "really" am, and helped to accept myself and my talents as positives. She really made me see myself in a positive light.
3. This is one of those books that can serve as a quick reference book. One that can either be read over and over again (like "Who Moved My Cheese?") or the reader can just go back to specific sections or chapters to remind themselves of important messages possibly forgotten.
4. Finally, her use of quotations for every chapter gives the reader a feeling of hope. Many of us reading the book may feel alone in our quest, afraid of change, and maybe afraid of ourselves. But with Valerie's writing style as well as the use of quotations, you know you are not alone. Each quotation, so carefully chosen, reinforces her message and makes the reader feel like they are not some freak, but truly a part of the world around them. A true participant in the human race, who wants the same thing as everyone else: happiness, a feeling of fullness and satisfaction in our every day life, self confidence, and empowerment.
Thanks Valerie, for giving a part of yourself to the rest of us. The world can always use inspiration like this. I know I can and it has propelled me from unemployment to self employment. Something that I was sure I would never do again because I failed the first time. But this time, I know its different and your wisdom has helped me discern between the two.
