Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Could not get passionate about The Passion Test Comment: If you want focused, easy to apply guidelines on finding & developing your own passions this book is a waste of your time and money. If you don't mind having your focus constantly interrupted by the boring details of the author's ego trip to India, then you might enjoy it. It totally failed to gain & keep my interest long enough to dig out anything of practical value. The "effortless path" in this book leads to boredom, confusion, and disappointment. It never got anywhere close to helping me discover my life purpose. I regret buying the book. Customer Rating: Summary: not exactly what I had in mind Comment: reading this book I got the impression that I am being recruited, always needing to purchase something else, read a different book in order to get the "promises" made by the authors. This book seems to feed the need of an unsatisfied public, always looking for the "dream", in fact very Amway-like in its presentation. Book was used for kindling. Customer Rating: Summary: The Passion Test Comment: This book is the greatest I have read regarding focusing on your passions, your desires which you must do before you set goals. It is an interactive book which makes it more personal. It isn't just words on a page you read and put on a shelf.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has not focused on what they want out of life. Creating a passion list is the first step to a more fulfilling life, in my opinion. Customer Rating: Summary: FINALLY Comment: This is the book I have been trying to find for years! It's work to get through the projects assigned, but I have learned so much about myself and the things that truly matter to me. I am so excited about my life and all that I can accomplish now that I know my priorities and what it will feel like to achieve them. If you are looking for an answer as to why you are here and what you are to accomplish, this is the book for you. I have purchased countless books that have given good direction on how to lead a better life, but that was only because I took bits and pieces from each book . This book actually helps you define specifically how to be a better you and make a difference in this world. I highly recommend this book to others and plan to purchase more copies to give to friends I know are at that place in their life where they are looking for answers as to where their life should be going. This book does not tell you what you should or should not be doing. It is totally personalized to each individual. If more people were to read this book they would find happier lives - guaranteed. Customer Rating: Summary: Future planning for the Right-Brain dominant Comment: As a highly intuitive, predominantly right-brained thinker, I have always struggled when asked to identify what I want, set some realistic goals and move forward in a systematic fashion. I have no difficulty identifying the big picture but the steps from here to there leave me flummoxed.
What a relief to find a book that helped me identify 'markers' for how I will know when I am living my passion sufficiently, rather than asking me to know the steps from here to there.
The Passion Test approach resonates strongly with a fundamental trust in the process of life unfolding in and through me. I especially liked their catch phrase "Intention, plus attention, plus no tension" allows miracles to be created. I have found their process for identifying my passions helpful, and the hints to working on them day by day useful as well.
I found this book so useful have made it required reading for my Network Team. If you have found other books about your purpose and passion leaving you still grasping for an elusive something, The Passion Test may well be the book you are looking for.
