Interesting book by Marlene Chism on Life Reinvention

by CathyG on December 10, 2008

Many Great Careers readers tell me they’re going through a life re-invention (or wanting to). I just came across a good book by Marlene Chism. I was intrigued by her question: “Do you how to read the signs when going through a Life Re-Invention?”

Marlene shares her personal story of Life Re-Invention in her book. She left her job as a blue collar factory worker (after 20 years!) to pursue her dream of becoming a motivational speaker and author. She often laughs when she tells her story of working in a factory: “The best part of your day is when you look up at the clock and realize it’s time to rotate.”

I like this quote: “Much of the time unhappiness is due to compulsively thinking about success, judging your current level of success, and obsessing over achieving your next big success.”
