Book Review: Thank You For Firing Me

Good Points:

  • It is very funny which can be helpful if someone has had the life shattering experience of actually being fired.
  • It is full of ideas outside of the corporate/government/institutional work spheres. This is in a very good point in my opinion because these types of full time jobs take too much tijme away from other things.
  • The book does a very good job of explaining the idea that sometimes things we think are big disasters actually turn out to be big opportunities. I have had this experience in my life and not even realized it until years later so I can identify with their point.
  • It is cheap if you buy it on Amazon ($11.00 compared to $18.00 with Irewards card at Chapters)

Bad Points:

  • It has a few time wasters such as "training to be a life coach."This is just my opinion so sorry to all you life coaches out there. Hey, take me on for free and prove me wrong.
  • The website disappointed me a bit. Not enough there.
