"One of the 25 books that have shaped readers' lives." CENTER FOR THE BOOK, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS . . . one of the first job-hunting books on the market. It is still arguably the best. And it is indisputably the most popular. "FAST COMPANY" "What Color Is Your Parachute? "is about job-hunting and career-changing, but it s also about figuring out who you are as a person and what you want out of life. " TIME" Ideally, everyone should read "What Color Is Your Parachute? "in the tenth grade and again every year thereafter. " FORTUNE" This is a fantastic tool useful to almost everyone. . . . It s so darn useful because it is about more than just finding a job.
