I heard Janet speak in a public forum and the power of her narrative simply blew the audience away. There is a deep conviction in her words and this is apparent in the book as well.
Some reviewers cavil at the authors' personal accounts of their travels to India and elsewhere and their accounts of persons they encountered. I found their story engrossing and it helped put the rest of what they said in context. It also helps that the prose is highly readable.
Sure what they say is simple and sure you have run across it before. This does not make it any less effective. Sometimes we need to have the same truths blasted into us with a power hose before we internalize it take actions that literally transform our lives.
The author's test does involve making a list of ten things that elicit passion in you now and it does involve repeating this every six months and there have been snide comments about this. I have, in various top business schools, used my own version of this process and can testify that it is both powerful and it WORKS. Most of us are so divorced from what makes us come alive that we do not even know what we are passionate about if anything. Janet and Chris give you a process by which you can begin to find out and this does not happen overnight.
The book is absolutely crammed with profound insights and the fact that you have run across them before does not diminish the usefulness. You do see the world as you are and not as it is. You can even argue like a famous president about what your definition of "is" is. Your thoughts have shaped you into what you are and what you think now will shape who you become tomorrow. And, yes, the Buddha proclaimed this three thousand years ago and many others have done so since. So what?
The authors repeat these timeless truths in their own inimitable fashion, tie it in with their personal narratives and those of others they have met and present it in a highly engaging fashion. The quotes interspersed throughout are fabulous. Eg "There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why," "When you follow your bliss..dors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else," "The key of all life is value. Value is not what you get - its what you give."
If you do the exercise conscientiously, you will start awakening the passion dormant in you. Do it long enough and it will take over your life. I sincerely wish this for you because that is what will lead you to a truly fulfilling life - where your passion is effortlessly used so you can be of service to others.Are You Ready to Succeed?

The Passion Test, a nessesary tool to add to your life.
I am a successful young entrepreneur, I'm happy and healthy. I can't sit still long enough to bother with tv and I enjoy so many activities I often feel overwhelmed. This book has helped me narrow down what is most important and fulfilling in my life. A friend and life coach reccomended it to me three years ago and I wish I would have started it then. My boundries are more defined, my interests are more clear, and I feel more fulfillment at the beginning and end of each day. Thank you Attwoods for laying out such simple and useful wisdom. XO, Future Life & Love Coach, Robyn M. Sadowski
