This publication takes a highly practical approach to teaching estate planning and administration by presenting the process from start to finish as it applies to three fictional families with various planning needs. The material is presented logically and allows readers to test their knowledge after each chapter and in a cumulative manner. It places emphasis on the practical concerns of drafting estate planning documents, and it provides numerous examples of such documents for the reader to review and relate to the fictional families' situations. Not only does it present the step-by-step process of traditional estate administration, it offers some alternatives to full administration. Sample documents, case briefs, discussions of ethical issues, and recommended Web sites for further study round out this valuable learning tool and desk reference.

Makes the mundane readable........2002-05-04

One of the better written tax textbooks. Will actually NOT put you to sleep when you read it. Easy to understand examples.

I'd rather read the Tax Code.......2001-12-21

This book was difficult to read, often wandering off on a tangent. I know the subject of taxes can be difficult but this text made topics that I was already familiar with seem confusing again. Each chapter has several examples, many of which were helpful. But many were also not clearly explained and a few made me wonder if the paragraph was truely finished. If you have a choice, pick up some tax software and a quickfinder guide to go with this class.

Great tax information.......2001-11-26

I am using this book in my Federal tax accounting class. I have more about taxes from this book than I have ever in my whole life. Great tax examples and many resources to solve each problem.

Your basic pyramid scheme.......2006-02-13

It's your basic pyramid scheme. Griffiths left his high-power Wall Street job for the simple life - teaching workshops on how to leave the corporate world for the simple life just like he did! The price of the book buys you his seminar on Barnes and Noble's online book club where, for your $13 and some hours of your life that you will never get back, Griffiths works to convince you that you, too, have the "self-esteem" to stop being a soulless corporate lackey. Griffiths sends you to some online hobby quizzes (which he didn't write himself) and then he tells you what your dream job might be. My top callings were "librarian" and "FBI agent," which seemed to me might involve some level of professional conflict of interest. Then he spends the rest of the seminar smugly deflecting your "resistance" every time you point out that your secret dream to be an Aruban scuba diver might not be practical or dodging questions about how to feed two kids on $8 an hour.

A DEFINITE MUST-READ .......2005-05-18

This book was nothing less than impressive! It states it is a practical guide to career change and personal renewal and it never disappoints. From the intro through the end, this book talks about giving up the lesser important aspects of your life to live a rich and fulfilling one through your career. Why stay in a job that you weren't meant for and begrudge yourself for going to work each day when you can get up each morning and think, "Goody! I get to do it again"?

Why NOT you, Identify your passions, Who am I professionally, Who am I --Really, Fear, Family, Finances, Essential spirituality, from dream to reality, the road map, transition, the new you, choosing a new employer, starting your own business, trade-offs, beyond your wildest dreams.........all off this and more is covered in this book!

Want ONE book to show you how to find a job and live a life that will fill you with joy? THIS is the book to get. I guarantee it will not disappoint!

Good Structure.......2004-05-18

Do What You Love for the Rest of Your Life : A Practical Guide to Career Change and Personal Renewal by Bob Griffiths can certainly stand on its merits. It gives good case histories detailing how various people he interviewed turned their careers around. It discusses the different sacrifices ech had made. The story about the Wall Street tycoon who managed everone else's money but his own seems to stand out the most.

However, this leads me to the weakness of this book. I finished this book abouttwo weeks ago and the main thing that stands out is the organizational structure and that many things can influence a person into changing a career. If you were to ask me the specific details behind the case studies, I really can not remember much. Part of it is Griffith's writing style and part of it could be that the stories themselves are really not overly inspiring. In other words, tehre are probably ten other similar stories out there. That is good in the sense that people can relate to Griffiths. However, in depicting a specific case study somehow the inspiration level is decent as opposed to excellent.

Nonetheless, this book is worthy if not quite over the top.

go figure.......2002-09-11

What do you do when you give up your spirtually unfulfilling but financially rewarding job only to find that its a cold, hard world out their? You write a book about it in the desperate hope that it will make you some money.

Wow--Bob Griffiths wrote this book for me!.......2002-02-18

I was attracted to the title of this book since I have been in the same field for 30 years and have begun to feel burnt out. I didnt see a way out before normal retirement, until I read this book.

This book has been very helpful to me since it includes a step by step guide to identifying your passions, what you do well, your fears, your financial picture (including differentiating between needs and wants), family concerns and more. Equally encouraging are first person reports from people who actually made dramatic life style changes and are doing what they love. I have gone over the sections and am just finishing evaluating my finances and feel that I am in a better position to make a change in the next few years. I now see that some lifestyle changes, an early or normal retirement with a reduced income and a part time job could give me options that will improve the quality of life for myself and my family.

Sometimes you need a nudge or another way of seeing things differently. This book has given that to me and I highly recommend it.
