Too many of us feel trapped by work that doesn't allow us to live our purpose, feed our passions, or use our gifts.

Eco-Bags founder Sharon Rowe says there's another way: go tiny. She is here to show you how. Tiny isn't a size - it's a state of mind. Like a tiny house, a tiny business is built on maintaining a laser focus on what is absolutely essential to you.

Getting Unstuck
Instead of a boring step-by-step plan for switching careers, author Sara Bliss shares real-life stories of people who extricated themselves from a variety of professions they didn't enjoy to pursue others closer their hearts. I was drawn to this book because I'm considering career change myself but I struggle with the prospect the of leaving an established career -- one that financially supports both myself and my daughter -- only to start all over again. These stories provided a much needed shot in the arm to keep going. Sometimes just hearing that something can actually can be done is exactly what's needed to propel you forward. The profiles in the book, however, are inconsistent. There were some I didn't think belonged in the book at all because some career changes seemed more like subtle adjustments: a young adult in an entry level position who then moved to a higher position in the same industry. Others left high-paying positions (that no doubt allowed them to save a good deal of money) and were easily able to take the time off they needed to ponder their lives, to pursue additional training, or bankroll a new venture. While It's always nice to see people finally doing what they love no matter what strata of society they come from, to those of us with less in the way of financial safety nets, these stories can actually hinder us from believing we can "take the leap." Nonetheless, though I personally couldn't relate to the all of the examples, I do want to reiterate that there were enough stories I *could* relate to that made listening to the book more than worthwhile. I suspect most people will find at least a few anecdotes or tips they will find useful. Whether we start with money or not, we could all use reminders now and again that our dreams are possible. Let's hope so anyway.

Hated this book
All I heard were people who already had money, high-paying careers, big-time connections, or lived in some big city. There were only a few that were super poor, and didn't know anyone who could help them get to their dreams. Those are the stories I'm fascinated with. I want to hear about how those people struggled and discovered how to make their lives better. Not someone who practically had all the right things handed to them. I didn't even make it all the way through. Had to return this one.
