Summary: Just at the right time.
Comment: As many of us do, in January of this year, I was pondering my resolutions. But this year was different for me in that I wanted to look more long term and take a "strategic" view of my life. "Am I in the right place and time for what I am doing? Should I be doing something different? Am I sabotaging my own goals by just living day to day and not stretching myself to new horizons?"
After reading John's book, I didn't have ALL the answers, but I knew that I was asking the right questions. His book gave me ideas for tools that I can and should use for my life planning and a sense of hope that I don't have to live from day to day - but could "re-discover" the passion for life I embraced years ago. I was able to write an "approach" to "what next" for my life from his inspiring ideas. I've recommended the book to several and so far all who have read it found it inspiring and challenging.

Summary: Provocative
Comment: I am a student of callings and following one's passion. Mr. Schusters offers an archetypal construct that was very helpful...the elements of Saboteurs, Evocateurs and Provocateurs changed the way I have organized my own search. Excellent story teller with vivid examples plus examples from many varied arenas. Also wonderful quotes from other writers that inspire and encourage one along their own personal quest. Good addition to personal library as well as a gift for those who are seeking.

Summary: Working the Veil
Comment: In times of moral confusion and national uncertainty, when (as ever) traditional ways of making sense of our purpose are undermined and challenged, we have to look hard to find markers that reassure us we are on a safe path or at least can find our way back to one. John Schuster reminds us we can discern reliable direction, and teaches us to trust the subtle signals that call us to personal meaning and fulfilling action. I like books that provide useful conceptual tools, that propose workable models for thinking about one's personal mission. I'd like every high school and college graduate to confront the ideas suggested in this book. Leave No Child Behind! I'm not big on spiritual self-help manuals, but was glad to find the light touch Schuster uses to introduce serious ideas. We see our purpose and our source of meaning as if through a veil. Schuster helps us work our way across and along the veil, deepening our ability to realize possibilities that are ever-present but seldom seen. I am grateful for his guidance, and commend him to you warmly.
