Great material, but save your money October 4, 2007

I really enjoyed the first half of the book because it is direct and clear. List 10 passions, find out your top 5 passions and look at them on a daily basis. I had an epiphany when I found out my number 1 passion!

Then, for the rest of the book, there is nothing new and it seems like a rehash from other self-improvement books. I was less excited and have stopped reading the book.

This book is recommended for those who don't know their passions in life or need to re-organise their passions to achieve their maximum potential!

Good beginning for those who have not found their passion October 5, 2007

Having been fortunate enough to have learned my passion as a child, I found this book to no avail. But the message is true and worthwhile and it works. And the stories were inspiring.

If you've not yet found your passion and are not sure how to find it, this is the place to begin. Doing what you love, being the type of person you want to be . . . those are key to a great, fulfilling life. And anything that helps you to get there is a good thing.

First, of course, as the book says, you must find your passion. Odd that so many people don't know their passion. But unfortunately, lots of people don't. Just to know how to dig it out of yourself is worth gold.

So my recommendation is simple. If you already know you passion, forget this book. It won't be of help to you. Read more about how to apply your passion.

But if you've not yet discovered your destiny, read the book. Everyone has an inner gift, something unique. When we do what we love, happiness results. To see people labor daily at jobs they hate is so sad. If people would read a book like this and get started on finding their destiny, they would be better off.

So whether to buy the book or not depends on where on that trip you are.

Test of Patience October 16, 2007
15 out of 16 found this review helpful

I am trying to figure out what to do with my life as I am sure many others are. This test was made by people who still don't seem to know what to do with theirs. The authors start out by freely admitting how many times they each have changed their focus and passion throughout their lives. Not exactly who I want to take advice from. The test is sitting down and listing out 10 attributes of your dream life. How did that make a book? There are no new ideas or messages presented. The most telling part of this book however, is that the authors admit you will need to retake the test every six months! EVERY SIX MONTHS! Because your passions and moods change. How will this help me figure out my life if every six months I have to go through this again? I made a mistake purchasing this book based on the hype in the press. I do not recommend that anyone else purchase this book.

I bought this book because it was recommended to me by someone I trust, but upon starting to read it, I was almost convinced I would return it. Among other things, the writing style is a mess, the voice of the narrator keeps shifting, the design with purple bars down the margins and purple boxes for different texts is irritating. However, I kept reading because I got caught up in the story of the Jane Attwood's trip to India, and I was intrigued about the Passion Test: a method to discover the 5 top things you are passionate about and how to achieve them in your life.

I found the test to be incredibly helpful to me. I am a woman in my mid-30s with a relatively successful career, but I feel that I have always been uncommitted to my profession. Taking the Passion Test helped me to clarify my goals, realize what I like and dislike about my job, and motivate me towards further career growth. It also helped me for personal growth as well, but it was really insight into my professional life that blew me away and made me decide that this is a book worth having around.

One of the things that I like best about this book is that it advocates an active approach to life. Other books that emphasize positive thinking seem to focus on patience and passive acceptance. As a goal-oriented person, I like to take the bull by the horns and set things in motion myself, not wait for them to happen. In that respect, this book is a great motivator.

This book takes as a point of departure the belief in a higher power. It is not for atheists or skeptics. It is regrettable that the negative reviews of this book are what people find the most helpful. Clearly, The Passion Test is not for everyone and could have done with more careful editing, but it is a book that will help people that are at a crossroads in their life, that need to make crucial decisions, and/or that need a little push to propel them towards the road to success.

I found out I'm passionate about these books!!! October 4, 2007

When all is said and done, I realized after "taking" The Passion Test that it is books and videos like this and The Secret that are now the true passion in my life. Finding new ways to think about my life and what I want for the future and the ways in which others fall short in realizing their dreams or in helping me to realize mine. My only disappointment is that there aren't more of them for me to read on a daily basis, and so like so many readers on these pages, I'm thinking of becoming a teacher or counselor myself, so that I can create my own, and so bring enlightenment to the sad many who still live without the passion and direction which has enlarged my life so, not to mention giving me the chance to make this, my passion, my vocation, and so reap real world rewards of the monetary kind, which will allow me finally not have to come into contact with the negative energies of those drab day-to-day drivelers who seem driven to drag me back to their so-called "reality." Thank God for this book! Bring me more!!
