old news
For those wishing guidelines and inspiration for a new direction in life, there are a number of better titles. The advice here is mostly recycled from other sources. The author uses the metaphor of "re-packing your bags" for discarding whatever's worn out or excessive or redundant in your life to facilitate moving on. The material is fairly low-key and soft-focus, not that useful. The book design and production was done on the cheap too, it seems.
Well-Written, but Not a Very Provocative Read
Good book and worth the read, but not quite intellectually challenging enough for me. This book helped me to be thoughtful about my life-direction, but it isn't a game-changer.
Inspiring
"Repacking Your Bags" provides me with great pointers in how to 'Live passionately for today & purposefully for tomorrow'. It is greatly engaging, & has inspired & guided me to align the four essential elements (relationship, work, place, purpose) of a happy life.
Good Book
Although I have just received it and only skimmed, it appears to be well written and will be very informative and interesting. Best of all the seller is awesome! I put the wrong address on my order and they sent me a new copy without questions being asked. Great customer service!
What does success mean to you now?
Lots of us are now facing career and life changes whether through layoffs or a sense of "It's time." This book can help you crystallize your own goals, your own vision for what you want to be and do. It's different for everyone.
But what do you say when you get that interview question, or one like it? A successful answer is one that differentiates you from other candidates while striking a chord in the interviewer that speaks to the employer's own goals and values.
I've had similar questions--"Where do you want to be in 10 years?" Twelve years ago I had the answer, and I've done most of it and more in my career, and was proud of it. Lots of my achievements have furthered the business of the companies that employed me.
An interviewer may look for an answer that reflected the kind of job you do. If it's sales or production, then your answer may be "Consistently beating my daily, weekly, quarterly and annual forecasts." If it's design, "Consistently stretching the boundaries of what is possible while keeping my feet firm in what we can plausibly implement with high quality standards." If it's customer service, you might be mentioning similar high quality standards while keeping people happy. And so on.
