Refuse to Choose!: Use All of Your Interests, Passions, and Hobbies to Create the Life and Career of Your Dreams

by Barbara Sher

Overview

Don't know what to do with your life? Drawn to so many things that you can't choose just one? New York Times best-selling author Barbara Sher has the answer—do EVERYTHING!

"Designed to help you enjoy your many interests without feeling overwhelmed and unfocused"
- Metro New York

Author of Wishcraft and I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was..., Barbara Sher has become famous for her extraordinary ability to help people define and achieve their goals. What Sher has discovered is that some individuals simply cannot, and should not, decide on a single path; they are genetically wired to pursue many areas. Sher calls them "Scanners"—people whose unique type of mind does not zero in on a single interest but rather scans the horizon, eager to explore everything they see.

In this groundbreaking book, readers will learn:

• what's behind their "hit and run" obsessions

• when (and how) to finish what they start

• how to do everything they love

• what type of Scanner they are (and which tools they need to do their very best work)

Editorial Reviews

Are you a Scanner? According to career counselor Barbara Sher, Scanners are people who have numerous interests but find it difficult to create a successful life because their abilities and passions are leading them in too many directions. There are several types, for example: Serial Specialists, who master one subject only to get bored and move on to the next; and Sybils, people harboring so many interests simultaneously that they can't finish a darn thing. Sher insists that Scanners should regard this tendency as a gift, not a liability and she offers ways to transform your restless dabbling into true joy.
