Summary |
Created by the leading authority on self-help research, and reviewed by over six hundred college students, Dr. Christine B. Whelan's The Big Picture offers a guide to discover one's talents, dreams, and desires that can then lead a person to not only a fulfilling career, but a fulfilling life. It guides young people to take a step back and look at the "big picture" of who they are, what they want, and why they're here. Through quizzes and questionnaires which have been vetted by college students, Whelan guides the reader through "big picture" questions like, What are my talents and how can I use those to help others and create meaning? How have my life experiences shaped who I am and what I can give? What do I value and how can I be happy while being true to those values? Although there are endless books on finding a job, this is the first book that presents research-based and tested material to help young people answer the question, What am I going to do with my life? A great gift for a graduate or a guide for yourself, The Big Picture provides the resources needed to find and live a purposeful life" -- Provided by publisher. |
