This from Authonomy where my second book is displayed for comments:
Time is a great healer and it is with time that the healing process helps us to overcome the drastic consequences that have befallen us. In the meantime it is wonderful to have a book like your book to help lessen the pain that the person who has lost their job is going through. Because it is painful to lose your job. It can be a mind numbing experience.
It’s good to have a dream. The dream of getting a good education in order to get a good job sounds great. It doesn’t always work out well though for some people. Even with good education, excellent qualifications and a great reputation in doing your job efficiently a person can still lose their job through no fault of their own.
Unfortunately job loss is a global epedemic at the moment. Due to the economic downturn everyone is suffering in some way or another. Even if someone does not lose their job they may have suffered a reduction in wages. Their work time may have been halved. You can get very afraid about the immediate future if your job is threatened.
The personality profiles in your book make perfect sense and as we read them we immediately know which catergory we fit into.
Note to self is a great idea at the bottom of each chapter.
Well done with this. It is very encouraging.
