"Dr. Huggans does a great job sharing insights for finding and fulfilling one's purpose in life by digging into P.A.S.S.I.O.N. This book would make a great gift for people at transition points - high school to college, college to graduate school, college/graduate school to workforce, etc. I can't wait to see what's next in the P.H.D. series! P.S. I love a good acronym, and this book is built on them, making the content even more memorable."

"This book has a style that presents a topic, shares a story, and then asks the reader to reflect and plan to take an action. It is a nice, easy read, and with steps can be readily applied. It is also written in a way that makes it easy to re-visit the steps for review or reference. It's applicable to all ages, but I will especially recommend this guide to my students!"
