[One of the] Books that Shaped Work in America. How could I not put
this on the list? . . . In print since 1970 and revised every year
since 1975, it has not only informed and educated job seekers and
job changers in the United States, but also had a global impact
through publication in more than 20 languages. It s basically the
bible of career advice.

Richard is a giant both in my life and certainly in the field. When
you think about his contributions to . . . understanding the whole
notion of three boxes of life, creating the flower exercise, and
the three questions that really help drive our job-finding activity
it is quite remarkable because it certainly changed my life
personally, and it changed most of the work that career counselors
and specialists and coaches perform. And I would expect it changed
all of our work as we think about how we grow talent in
organizations.
