Levit ("Success for Hire") outlines seven motivations for career changes, including family, money, and passion, and shows how each transformation can be accomplished. There are a plethora of stories here of real people who have reinvented themselves through new careers, sometimes more than once. Each chapter includes a resource toolkit at the end, providing relevant books and web sites for additional assistance pertaining to the motivation being covered. A quiz is given in the introduction to help readers target what their true motivations are and guide them to the correct chapter to help transform their careers. Readers will find the stories inspirational and the exercises and worksheets even more so. Recommended for job seekers prepared to do this kind of research into their motivations for career change and for larger library career collections.Elizabeth Nelson (EN), OUP Lib., Des Plaines, IL
