I Refuse to Choose! How to Use Your Interests, Passions, and Hobbies to Build the Life and Career of Your Dreams

This is the third book by the legendary Barbara Sher. The previous ones—"Dreaming is Not Harmful" and "What to Dream About"—have been on the bestseller list worldwide for over 30 years. Barbara herself has helped over a million people find their purpose and become truly fulfilled. What is "I Refuse to Choose" about? People can be divided into two types: scanners and divers. Divers are those who have chosen one area of interest and have developed in it. Scanners, however, have too many interests and passions to focus on just one. Scanners want to try everything. They enthusiastically study the structure of a flower and music theory. They love to travel and are interested in politics. For scanners, the universe is a treasure chest that holds millions of works of art, and it is unlikely that one lifetime would be enough to see them all. Often, scanner individuals feel that time passes by, and they have achieved nothing yet. They haven't become a professional in anything: it seems they are on the cusp of being an expert in one field, and then they become interested in another. Their peers, with fewer talents and opportunities, have moved far ahead, while the scanner remains at the starting line. If this sounds like you, you are likely a scanner. Since such behavior is unfamiliar and incomprehensible to many, you have probably been told many times that you are doing something wrong and that you need to choose one path. But this is a big mistake. What you were presented as a shortcoming is actually a rare gift. In this amazing book, Barbara Sher shows how to adapt your wonderful multifaceted mind to a world that has never truly understood who you really are. After reading this book, you will learn: — What lies behind your frequent change of interests (there is a reason for this!). — When and how to finish what you started. — How to engage in everything you love. — What type of scanner you are (and what tools you need for optimal functioning). Who this book is for: For everyone who dreams of finding purpose in life and understanding ways to achieve it.
