Reader reviews for Executive in Passage: When Life Lets You Know It's Time to Change, Let That Knowing Lead You

From the publisher

Executive in Passage: When Life Lets You Know It's Time to Change, Let That Knowing Lead You is a compelling story of a top advertising executive and his efforts to resolve the growing conflict between his ethics and his work.This memoir is intimate and profoundly moving. Marrs takes the reader into the heart of one of today's most challenging struggles - how to satisfy the desire for material success while at the same time, answering the call for a life of deeper meaning and fulfillment."I had quit smoking but was making ads for Marlboro. I was working on Kellogg's while restricting the kids' intake of presweetened cereals. I was asked to keep GM's gas guzzlers selling during the nation's worst oil crisis. These clients were the largest billings in the house and the most exciting projects for creative people, but I could barely stomach working on them.". A crushing incident during a high-stakes client presentation brings Marrs to a breaking point. He finally stops resisting change, then quickly discovers that the simple career change he anticipated is actually a passionate quest for whole-life fulfillment.Through raw storytelling, rather than the headiness of a how-to book, Executive in Passage escorts the reader beyond the uncertainty of career crisis and midlife transition by revealing the transformational secrets that can illuminate this universal journey. As the story unfolds, readers gain a clear sense that their challenges are not the result of mistakes, nor signs that they are somehow lacking. Instead, their difficulties are milestones on a beneficial, albeit confusing journey toward worldly success and uncommon fulfillment. It's a great read, a fast-paced story with plenty of insights that make the passage less mysterious, easier, and even quicker.The story's structure highlights: -> Three distinct phases to successful transition:
-> Three broad phases of a life in transition
-> Eleven hidden steps of personal transformation
-> Deciphering internal and external signals
-> Recognizing turning points that lead to positive changeFor anyone who is in the throes of difficult transition or is interested in attaining a new insight into the often mysterious underpinnings of a beautifully evolving life, this is a palpably useful guidebook.
