Review by Booklist Review

Lore is founder of the Rockport Institute, a national career counseling network. In a mix of Myers-Briggs lingo, New Age precepts, and 1990s pragmatism, he applies a Socratic process to uncovering career and life goals and to fulfilling them. Included are more than 100 inquiry worksheets that question such matters as career fantasies, specific work environments, and so on. Helping to inspire, delight, and create enthusiasm are the quotes from famous people, such as Gandhi ("You must be the change you wish to see in the world") and Lily Tomlin ("The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win you're still a rat"). Obviously, the actual stages of self-discovery are as long or as abbreviated as individual schedules allow, but Lore insists that the exercises are worth the considerable frustration, time, and effort. And he's probably right. (Reviewed December 15, 1997)0684823993Barbara Jacobs
