Review of Fleming book

Getting Ahead Without Losing Heart (Savannah, GA.: Frederic C. Beil Publishing, Inc., 1999) by Andrew T. Fleming with foreward by James W. Fowler

This book explores the career and lifestyle choices of seven high achievers, who chronicle in their own voices important educational and career choices. Readers meet, among others, a successfull Wall Street trader who dreams of becoming a doctor, a Dartmouth graduate who happily works as a hotel desk clerk, and a former automobile shop secretary who makes it into investment banking and must choose between the job she earned and the man she loves. These intimate and insightful accounts are woven together by the author's own journey on and off the fast track during the period of these interviews. Each story includes questions for reflection and discussion and an appendix of book and films for those who wish to explore life-work themes further.
