 The "Dave Ramsey" of Careers October 11, 2008
For those to whom "the whole college experience" is recent and whose enthusiasm and optimism are unchecked this book may be unnecessary and perhaps even somewhat unintelligible. Dan Miller has tapped into the positive mindset and self-confidence of youth, and may be less relevant to the recent graduate who has not yet faced a tough job market.
For everyone who's found themselves in a dead-end job or career, however, or whose college experience is more than a few years old or perhaps even nonexistent, or -- perhaps worst of all -- who has suddenly found their training and experience are "no longer required" by an employer, Dan has the proven ability to inspire or restore the youthful enthusiasm which once filled each of us as we saw the future full of endless possibilities and opportunities. Some of Dan's best "students" are people who have come to realize from his books and materials that getting laid off, "downsized," "offshored" or even fired can be the most positive experience in a career, the springboard from which to dive into a future which might before have seemed too difficult or too risky to pursue; not an ignoble end but an invigorating new beginning.
If you're fresh out of school and full of optimism, put the skills you've learned to work in the job market. Just be aware that the person you'll be asking for a job may well have reached that position by putting Dan Miller's ideas into practice. Dave Ramsey teaches people how to get the most out of their finances; Dan Miller gives people the tools to recognize and make the most of their God-given abilities.
The new grad may lack the experience to appreciate this book, but if you're not fulfilled in your current job, if you dread Mondays, if you want to pursue the adventure and fulfillment of seeking and doing the work you were created for; whether you have a job now or need one, Dan Miller's "48 Days to The Work You Love" is the doorway to a new beginning.

This will only help if you are looking for a job instead of developing your own potential.
Helped with interview September 17, 2008
This book was well worth the money and the bit of time to read it. It prepared me well for my first interview shortly after reading it. I just completed my third interview with the same company (different people). It also gave me some ideas outside of the box.
Do "48 Days..." or every next day of your life will be a waste. September 16, 2008
It wasn't until I was over 40 that I got on track with the life and career direction I was made for. Don't make the same mistake. This book, if applied, will be one of the most significant, if not the most significant, tool you will find to help you learn yourself and set a course for the fullest life you were created to live.
