4 out of 4 starsReview by Al76Share This Review

Jody B. Miller in, From Drift to Shift: How Change Can Bring True Meaning and Happiness to Your Work and Life, nails it as she narrates inspirational stories of individuals whose life-stories relate to almost everyone. The author writes of several individuals who drifted in major struggles and obstacles at one point in their lives but later shifted to a passionate and meaningful way of life. Jody tells a story of a girl who lived in a foster home which she loathes, who later in life co-founded an ‘ideal’ foster care which helped place the young men and women into employment. The story of an extreme sports enthusiast who was involved in a life-threatening accident but did not give up in life is an inspirational and exhilarating read. Amongst the several life-stories is a story about a cancer survivor who had cancer therapy since she was age four but never gave up on herself but miraculously shifted to become a Certified Wellness Coach later in her adult life. These and other motivating and inspiring stories make the best part of the book. The book emphasis in on the idea of shifting. Whether you are struggling spiritually or emotionally, or you have been employed for years, or just a stay at home parent, or a budding or established entrepreneur, this is the book for you. Jody makes use of delineating life-stories from prolific or abounding figures and the author’s life-story which makes the book appealing to anyone from all walks of life. As long as you want a shift in any aspect of your life, this is a must read. The book oozes with positivity from the first chapter to the last. The book is a genuine guide to finding what you really desire in life and how you can achieve your desires. Unlike other motivational or self-help books, the author not only explains “Why Shift”, but moves on to highlight, “When To Shift”, “How To Shift” and interestingly what to do, “After The Shift” , in a clear and logical way. The book consists of well-detailed and clearly organised chapters. Jody makes use of good English throughout the chapters. The language is simple and clear, which makes a good read even to an ordinary non-technocrat. The author concludes each chapter with well laid out and simple takeaways, a clever way to make sure the reader does not miss important points. From Drift to Shift: How Change Can Bring True Meaning and Happiness to Your Work and Life by Jody B. Miller is a book that is both motivational and inspirational. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The layout is appealing and the editing appears professionally done as I did not find any obvious grammatical and typing errors.
