2 stars (Not worth it) - I listen to Dave Ramsey every day and read his books, I really think he's on the ball with his advice and helping people a lot. I can also understand why he advertises and endorses Dan Miller; Miller's heart is clearly in the right place and Im sure he's amazing as a one-on-one job counseler. But this book isn't anything special. I just got off the job hunt and I have to say that much of this advice can be found for free, on the internet, and is part of the whole college experience (which is about finding what you like to do and studying it in further detail). The book mainly says, "look and find out what you really want to do", "go find companies that do it", "let your enthusiasm show" and "negotiate shrewdly". Yes, this is all good advice, but its mostly common sense - you dont need to spend $20 to learn this advice. So, you know, maybe Im too young and optimistic, but I really dont see the point or need for a book like this. Dave Ramsey, yes absolutely - everyone should listen to him. But Miller and his book - no, unless you go directly to him for job counseling. This book is much too general and non-commital to be of much use. 5 stars (48 Days to the Work You Love) - This book provides many practical and very helpful approaches to finding a good job. I had just lost a job that I loved for 28 years and needed a refresher to help me find another job to love. I found the book very helpful. 1 stars (Worth neither the time nor money) - This book essentially turned out to be a hardcover advertisement to buy more of the author's material in order to "really discover the work you love." It eluded to proving helpful for a moment with discovering more about ones potential vocation, but then gave YET ANOTHER reference to his website where you could purchase the information for another $37.50. The minor amount of basic material is the same as can be found on most any career counseling website, but with constant advertisements for the author's o...

1 stars (Right Wing Trash Propaganda ) - Blaming the ACLU for all the ills of American society, this book is just another in a long series of shallow attacks in the right-wing's war against anything that threatens to undermine its greed and power in America today. For instance, this book blames the ACLU for why pornography thrives in our culture, yet it was the Supreme Court and staunch conservatives that voted for First Amendment Rights related to pornography's distribution on the Internet. It was primarily the right-wing idealogues on the Supreme Court bench, who gave full power to pornographic material's dissemination on the Internet. Always hurling blame at liberals, one would think that there are no right-wing idealogues who watch porn in America. Of course not, all of these conservative men obviously would never stoop to such immoral behavior! My point is that these authors are so full of it. They are just part of the huge political war machine attempting to maintain its political ground by lying to people about what its about and what it stands for. Unjustified war from greed, while deliberately neglecting relief for disaster victims -- that is what these liars are about! Greed, power and conquests of the weak and vulnerable. These right-wing idealogue men do not have the upper hand on morality. They are the lowest scum sucking trash on planet earth who would let people die in a hurricane and lie about their neglect in the rescue efforts they were forwarned would be needed. They lie and hide behind an illusory political game that enables them to rape and rob the American people in the process. These men are sick! You don't hear them criticizing why we went to war for no justified reason, do you? They are using the old deflection from scrutiny by attacking institutions that expose their hyporisy. These people are desperate and they are losers groping for anything they can to maintain this false illusion that they represent America's values. If ...
