One of my close friends recommended this book to me based on our many conversations regarding our careers. While for the most part I've "liked" my work throughout my career, I can't remember when I last felt like I "loved" it, although long ago I know I did. That's where I feel like Mr. Fields' insights have challenged me to run down the path of discovery of being my own Career Renegade. This book has been a catalyst in my own effort, and I can see how it is worth the read for others also seeking a jump start. ( )

Helpful info, but I'm still in my job, so it wasn't a miracle worker. ( )

Good tips and incentive on how to start our own business ( )

A great book, though not what I was expecting. Having experienced quite a few career-related crises in the last two months, I rushed to put this book on hold--thinking it would reaffirm my passion for teaching and perhaps point me towards other like-minded careers. Yet let me say it: If reaffirmations are what you are looking for, you will not find them here. This book is not designed to make you happier in your current job or to move you towards another industry you may enjoy more--this book was created to get you off your butt so you can make your own job, your own career, your own industry! Though it was pretty heavily geared towards internet-related ventures, there were more than enough real-world ideas to help even the least internet-savvy among us. And allow me to reiterate what Fields says numerous times, that you cannot just sit there and hope your life will turn out the way you want it. I was reluctant and hesitant at first, but within only twenty-four hours, this book already had me thinking of an independent career path which might actually take me somewhere! Exhilarating! ( )
