This Book Will Change Your Life … (part 2)

Posted on 03/30/2007 14:08:25 | Link | Post Comment

I was at Borders, today, looking for magazines on watches (there were seven) and antique toys (sold out).

So, I spent an hour there and was about to check out, but the line was like twenty people long. I returned the magazines to the carousel and was about to leave, when a client called. We talked for around twenty minutes (I'm going to bill them) and then I hung up and made my way toward the door.

All of a sudden, a book caught my eye, I don't know why. It was called, "Refuse to Choose!", by Barbara Sher. I took a quick look at it and was instantly intrigued.

I'm about to sit down and read it, right now. If this description sounds like you or someone you know, I recommend highly buying the book (or reading it while standing in line at a Borders near you).

It will change your life.

With her popular career counseling sessions, motivational speeches, workshops, and television specials, Barbara Sher has become famous for her extraordinary ability to help people define and achieve their life goals. Now she tackles a problem that millions of people face today in a universe of infinite possibilities.

Sher identifies someone she calls The Scanner - someone who frequently has a multiplicity of interests, but finds it hard to create a successful life he or she loves because their passions and abilities are taking them in so many different directions. Sher identifies 7 types of Scanners, ranging from the Serial Specialist (someone who learns all about one subject, only to get bored and need to move on to the next) to Sybil (a person with so many areas of interest, he or she can't finish a thing).

Contrary to popular wisdom, Sher tells Scanners that theirs is a unique ability, not a liability. She also states that they must do everything they love, not zero in on one pursuit at the expense of all others. With dozens of powerful techniques Sher has developed to free people from goal paralysis, readers will stop thinking of themselves as dabblers or dilettantes, and find innovative ways to live lives of variety, challenge, and joy.
