Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
A Guide to Getting It: Purpose and Passion
Marilyn Schwader (ed.), 9 contributing coaches · 2005
58/100
👎 Skip It
Nine life coaches, one 176-page anthology, and twenty years of near-total silence — one Goodreads rating since 2005. The advice (shift perspective, see possibilities, do the exercises) is the standard coaching canon delivered nine slightly different ways. Nothing here is wrong; nothing here is anything you won't find sharper in one good book by a single author with a point of view. Skip it.
