Summary: Highly Readable
Comment: This book dares you to have a "Time Out" from the busines of everyday and examine your life. It reminds you that life is a journey and as such, you have to continually pack and repack to lighten your load. Although it caters more to couples, everyone can benefit from it. This is a must read for someone who's standing at the crossroads of life. The exercises at the end of every chapter are very helpful. Read it, it might help you to throw away some unwanted stuff in your life.

Summary: Thinking about your baggage?
Comment: Simply put, this book is about considering the choices you've made in life, and making decision based on this idea: "Live in the place you belong, with the people you love, doing the right work, on purpose."
Leider and Shapiro use the metaphor of repacking your bags for the journey ahead, mindfully considering what you need to carry with you for your vision of a happy, joyful, purposeful life, and what you can unpack and leave behind.
The book contains some inspirational stories, and a number of soul searching exercises. I was challenged by some exercises, which promote dialogue with others as part of the process. Figuring out a life path can be easier with the help of others.
Why only three stars? I grew weary of the repacking metaphor, found some exercises too simplistic to aid me, and lost interest once the focus moved on past finding purpose (about 1/2 the book) to other related topics. I give the parts that spoke to me five stars, and less to the rest of the book.
