How does a someone two decades younger than I acquire such clear insight and wisdom and present it so well? Am I bitter? Yes.

But not so much that I can't appreciate and reread this colorful, engaging conversation that is equal parts art and sage advice. I am encouraged and, I admit, inspired. Whilst still a bit bitter.

I saw my daughter had this on her Goodreads To Read list, so I wanted to check it out. It looked very interesting. I listened to it on my Kindle, then I had to go back and actually read it. I thought it was very well done. The writing is excellent and to the point. I loved the illustrations and little bit or art it contained. I related to some of the examples she gave. Being a retired senior and not knowing what to do with my life now,but still wanting to be useful and to use the gifts God show more has given me. I agree with what she said about the three differences Job, Courier and Passion. It was a quick read and very interesting book. I would highly recommend reading it. show less

Ehh...I found this on Amazon while looking at a similar book and ended up buying both. This was pretty to look at and a fast read; however, it doesn't really say very much that's tangible or practical, it's mostly a hybrid of affirmation and aspiration.

For me, it fell short. If I'm picking up a book on the 'crossroads between should and must, I already realize there's a junction and am looking for the author's guardrails or experience finding the line between should and must and how to show more choose between them. The idea that someday you'll arrive at a crossroads is nicely illustrated, but duh. There's no pragmatic guidance on how to navigate that choice--no clear POV on how to take action.

If what you want is a book that's pretty to look at, this is certainly that. If you want a book that actually says something, there are better ones out there. Roadmap, What Color is Your Parachute, Do What You Are, Pathfinder...check them out.

This is, IMO, the kind of book that one might gift to someone new to the idea of independently navigating big life choices. show less

I will write a more detailed review later. For now, I’ll just say it’s a great read. I enjoyed the artistry. It made me think. I’m writing down questions and prompts from the book, answering their questions, then plan to read it again. I hope this will help the ideas settle in. This would be a good one to own and reread during times you feel dispassionate or without direction.

I would question whether this book is as effective if your “calling” isn’t to be an artist (or some show more kind). What if you are called to work with numbers? Or teach? Or be a doctor? Does this book reach those people as well as the artists? show less
