Very helpful book November 17, 2008
If you're considering changing careers but think you can figure it out on your own, read this book anyway. You may figure it out on your own, but The Unhappy Lawyer will help you figure it out faster than you would alone. I wish this book had been out when I was a 4th year associate!
Ms. Parker clearly knows how most unhappy lawyers feel. I would read a suggestion in the book and think "but X may happen." In the next paragraph Ms. Parker would write, "You may be thinking that X may happen." Kind of spooky.
Although this book is great for lawyers, I think it would be helpful to people who are unhappy in other careers as well.
Overall, great information at a great price.
Phenomenal Resource!!! August 15, 2008
If you're one of those attorneys who frantically check the lotto numbers each week to find out if you can finally be free, or if you've been waiting on the light bulb moment to show you what you were really meant to do, this book is for you. It has better odds than the lotto, and it could very well inspire the light bulb you've been waiting on for so long.
Unhappy Lawyer is a phenomenal resource, with the perfect blend of realism and humor. Best of all, it doesn't just offer lofty notions about career options that are out there. Instead, it helps readers chart a specific course to reach their goals. Additionally, each section includes real life stories of those who have found their purpose outside of the law. These are stories of inspiration because they show that it can be done.
So, if you're looking for the perfect blend of coaching and practical steps, from someone who has been in the same shoes, I highly recommend this one.
