I'm an avid listener to Mark Kaye's radio show and of course I love it so much. I also get mark Kaye's "fan mail" which i love and puts me in a good mood. I just got the book today and wanted to tell everyone how much I enjoyed it. The intro is absolutely correct about adult books nowadays and this one was so joyous to read, along with witty, creative and inspirational - not to mention it being about 90 pages made it a breeze, I was able to knock it out in about 15 minutes. I have been wishy washy about going back to school because it has been 5 years since I have taken any classes and am feeling overwhelmed about re-entering school. But this book made me realize, my ideal job will not just fall into my lap (as I hoped) and I have to work hard to get there and at the end of the hard work and dedication I will reap my reward, which is having a job I am passionate about. So thank you Mark Kaye for writing your book and being wonderful. I love your show & I look forward to more books in the future.

I listen to Mark on the radio every morning and I watch him on NBC. I love his show so I figured I would love his book too. I was right! It's very funny and an easy little book to read. The lessons are wonderful as well. I decided to buy several copies as gifts for grads, girlfriends, baby showers...whatever! It's a really cute story that anyone will enjoy reading over and over. Thank you Mark Kaye!
Made me smile and laugh out loud!

The author tells of a surprise ending that you "won't see coming." He was right about that. It made me laugh out loud, something I haven't done in awhile while reading a book. I blew through this book in about 15-20 minutes, which is great because I don't have very much time to read. Then I gave it to a co-worker who read it on her lunch break. Then she gave it to her sister who read it to her children. It's one of those books that everyone can relate to. I just hope I get it back one day.

What a great book. I like the way that Mark mixes humor with his message. The illustrations are great and the book is a quick and easy read. This is the kind of book that gets passed around to others - definitely not a dust collector.
