Customer Reviews

Very inspirational

I bought the book after I met Karyn. Quite honestly, I didn't think I "needed" her book since I already love what I do for a living, but as I read it I found myself more inspired to do what I already do... but do it with more focus and commitment than I have in a while. It was interesting because I hadn't read it for that result, but it was extremely valuable in putting me back in touch with WHY I do what I do and what it provides for me and for others. I love the personal stories Karyn so generously shares especially the journal entries at the end of the book. Karyn is very intuitive and I look forward to reading whatever she publishes next!

Go after your dreams!

This is a thought-provoking, well-written manuscript! It's the kind of book that you won't want to put down until the last page is read. It will give you an inspirational jump-start if you dream of more fulfilling work, but lack the courage or know how in making that transition. Karyn Pettigrew's reflections of her own life experiences add a personal touch that I easily connected with. She masterfully outlines a no-nonsense approach for aligning your intellect, body, emotions, and spirit that will lead you to a richer, more satisfying life. The book is well worth the cover price, ten-fold. Can't wait for Karyn's next release!

Not for quitters!

Despite the provocative title, this book is NOT about quitting. It is about being true to oneself and being proactive in finding one's true vocation. I had the pleasure of meeting the author, Karyn Pettigrew, at a recent seminar and she is just as inspiring in person as she is in print. She is able to strike that much sought-after balance between practicality and pursuing one's dreams. And she does so quite brilliantly. Each of the easy to read chapters challenges the reader to look deep inside with honesty. At the beginning of each chapter, Karyn includes an inspirational quote. The most eloquent one came from none other than Yoda of Star Wars! It says simply, "There is no try. There is either do or do not." A very empowering book, written with authority and authenticity. As evidenced by the large crowd at a recent book signing in Chicago, the time has come for a book like this. It resonates a chord that is in all of us.

Just Do It!

Karyn Pettigrew has masterfully written a concise, straight forward approach to moving into what is one's true calling. Her focus lends to the reader being proactive and setting forth on changing what is not working in one's life. Life is too short to be miserable...so get off the rat wheel, if you will, is the message I got. Great book - highly insightful and well written.

Quit just existing - this book helps you direct your life

The book has short chapters and exercises that make you probe into the life and career paths you should have. It is insightful and helpful, not ponderous.It is a great book for the person who knows there is a better place, but doesn't have the means or confidence to go there. After reading this book, you will.I highly recommend it.
