Ten Speed Press What Color Is Your Parachute? 2022: Guide to a Lifetime of Meaningful Work and Career Success

This book claims to be all things to everyone (unemployed, graduate , 30+ years) and ultimately serves none well. Having devoted a significant amount of time reading and doing the exercises it feels like a management consultant selling your thoughts back to you - you will learn very little. 2 hour job search is a significantly better , briefer and actually enjoyable read - and doesn’t claim to tell you what you should do - which this book does not.Save the money and time , go elsewhere.

I bought this book 30 years ago, followed the instructions in it and am still enjoying the fulfilling career it led me to. And I continue to purchase this book for others. I just bought it for my grown children and hope they both receive huge benefits from it. Really, this is one of the most meaningful and important books I have ever read. Highly recommend.

Way back in 1995 when I was looking for a job a friend of mine gave me this book. I found it to be super valuable with many great ideas. Over the years I was pleased to give current editions of this book to people who were job searching. In 2022 I am pleased to be able to once again give this book to a friend.

Thoroughly enjoyable and useful book to find your true north once again! Highly recommended read!

Few books have ever provided me with the kind of clarity this book has as to what direction I need to pursue a professional future. This should be a must read for anyone contemplating how they are wired and how their wiring fits with a "real" job. I wish I had read this in the later part of my collegiate journey (the first time). Read it. Do the exercises.
