Media Reviews
Excellent for new graduates, midlife job seekers, and anyone who desires a change. -Library Journal
I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see new books on the self-help shelf that rattle our idea of what belongs there. Roadmap expands our definition of what to expect from the genre and what to expect of ourselves-- really helps to blow the dust off the old picture. - Jenn Witte, Bookseller, Skylight Books
This book is not going to solve all your problems for you; let's just get that out of the way. What it will help you to do is ask the right questions; not what am I supposed to be doing? but what do I love doing? -Veronica Belmont, Technology and Gaming Host
Roadmap proves that a life catered to our own unique strengths and interests is not only possible, but with the right tools and insight provided, something we can start pursuing today. -Datev Gallagher, aka Ladiedottie, YouTube Celebrity
This book is a great reminder of why we should always follow our dreams and never settle. It's inspiring, motivating, fun, emotional, and so much more. It's an honor to be included with such talented role models. -Ariel Helwani, MMA Reporter: FoxSports and MMAfighting.com
