Reviews for Embracing Your Second Calling
Not Very Embracing
I wanted to like this book, journal, study guide, self-help book whatever you want to call it, but unfortunately I didn't. Perhaps if I had been married or had kids it would have made a difference because perhaps then I would fit the profile the book is aimed at better. Perhaps if I didn't have a good fulfilling and time filled life this book would have worked for me, but I do.
I'm not at the point of needing a career change, yes I would like to repurpose my life, but then thats true of everyone to some extent, we are all aware of things we could, should do better and don't. but on the whole this book was not the answer to any of my personal issues and problems and instead of building me up it left me feeling hmm not sure, thankful maybe that I didn't fit the mould but unfulfilled in general because the book just didn't have any observations that weren't obvious really.
On the whole it felt formulaic to me and that made me sad as I wanted it to be so much more than a book about empty nest syndrome and the fate of being middle aged and middle income, and just discontent with life for those reasons. by melanie carroll
