The book is a measured, thoughtful and well-researched view of the period between childhood and commitment to the church (or leaving the church) that the Amish call rumspringa - literally 'running around'. Everything is permitted for these teens and early twenties, or if not exactly permitted, then not forbidden. As an anabaptist sect, the Amish believe that baptism must be entered into freely by an adult, in full knowledge of the alternative, 'English' or mainstream America. This baptism is an unbreakable commitment to the Church and not, as the Baptist sects believe, any guarantee of an eternal dwelling in heaven. After reading the book, which is written from the point of view of an interested and not-unsympathetic mainstream American, I have a great deal of respect from the Amish's ideas of community and how to maintain it, of their pacifist and non-judgmental stance and forgiveness of all acts by their children, no matter how against their ethics and even the law, during their rumspringa. It is difficult, however, to sympathise with the extreme submissiveness and abnegation of all self-determination of the women, and their insistence on only the most basic of formal education ending at 14. The various bans on electricity, telephones and motors in most circumstances but not all seem hypocritical. It strikes me as ridiculous that ownership and driving of cars (outside of rumspringa) are forbidden, but riding in them and hiring them with a driver isn't. Needless to say, most religions have these strange little peculiarities, but generally they aren't so obvious as with the Amish. This is a good book, deep, interesting and well-written. Its a slice of America that is generally regarded as quaint, antiquated and a bit of a tourist show. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Amish are a thriving, growing religion that is deeply introspective and cares little what the world thinks of it.

The book was pretty good, but not worth the price for how short it is.

Ok, I give this one 3.5 stars. I enjoyed it, but the first one was better. I particularly liked the ending, but it just took forever for Edward to finally wind up back in the picture. I was going to wait until school was over this semester, but I couldn't resist. It was a quick read (3 days) and I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to Eclipse.

as I read this book I feel the need to break away from the pack and branch out from industrial America. I need to get to know my own community better and help out the little guy

4-12-07 God bless you Mr Vonnegut! Oh yeah and I loved this book--it was the first Vonnegut book I ever read--I read it to impress a girl in my 12th grade drama class--I recently reread it (without the girl) and loved it all over again.

I picked up this book while looking in the bookstore for own copy of Do What You Are. While I wasn't looking for this book, the title spoke to me. It encapsulated what I was feeling at the time, the reason why I was looking for Do What You Are. The cubicle farm drawing on the front cover encapsulated the sentiment even more. I was not disappointed. While Jansen does not use personality type in the way that the authors of Do What You Are Do, I appreciated her focus on forming a career action plan. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 focuses on where the reader is now (Point A), Part 2 presents the reader with a series of self-assessments to determine where he or she really wants to go (Point B), and Part 3 provides a series of tools for building a bridge between Point A and Point B. Not every tool is fit for every person, but there is something here for everyone at any stage of life, from college graduation all the way to retirement. It was the focus on the action plan that I liked most about this book. Most career books have self-assessments of some kind, and I used the ones from this book in conjunction with others to begin creating my personalized career action plan. If certain results from multiple testing sources overlapped, saying essentially the same thing, then that is part of a core standard that I should be using to guide me along my path. And the tools provided in this book helped me to build that path. Perhaps not very far distant in my appreciation ranking is the listing of resources (books and otherwise) that Jansen provides at the end. Other comments aside, that alone makes this book a keeper. While I did employ resources in addition to this book in creating my own path, this book was an essential part of that process for me. It helped me to solidify some earlier thoughts I had about starting my own business (and it was so effective at doing so that I determined the next book I would read would be about entrepreneurship). It helped me to understand more of my own power to create my own path to success. And it gave me tools and inspiration to do so. I recommend this book to anyone seeking any sort of change in his or her career status, and I highly recommend using this book in conjunction with others to formulate a personalized career plan. As the author herself says near the end of the book, "It is time to make yourself happy in your work. Start your journey today."
