FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

In the authors book, she indicates that change is one thing we living creatures are fearful of and this is ironic because "personal growth can only occur when we step out of our comfort zones"(Nancy Whitney-Reiter).

As far as human behavior goes, Whitney-Reither noticed that it is far more easier for people to remain in their boring jobs that they dislike rather to "take the first step onto an unknown path, hoping it will lead to a better life"(Nancy Whitney-Reiter).

In these years, adults have been active in pursuing their ''lifestyle careers'' and this is evident with other peoples "success stories". These stories are inspirations for others who seek what they love to do allowing them "to focus on things that matter the most" for them"(Nancy Whitney-Reiter).

Whitney-Reiter believes that being successful in doing what you love isn't really all that rare. "Pick up any newspaper or national magazine these days and you're likely to find at least one success story of someone who has stepped off the fast track and onto the path of their dreams"(Nancy Whitney-Reiter).

When it comes to following your dreams, making it happen probably isn't the hardest obstacle to conquer. For people "sometimes the toughest challenge is identifying your own priorities, rather than simply following society's proscription"(Nancy Whitney-Reiter).

Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):

Nancy Whitney-Reiter talks about in her book, stories of peoples ''success stories'' and how they achieved their goals, dreams, or aspirations. She wishes to give her readers ''food for thought'' about life and what rich entailments it possesses if you stick with what you love. She represents these stories in a step by step manner as if it were a 'guidebook to your dream job.'

Credibility of Source:
Author or Editor: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the editor.

Nancy Whitney-Reiter is a former economist and corporate market analyst. After surviving the attacks on the World Trade Center, she found herself questioning the true meaning of “success,” and embarked on a year long travel sabbatical.


Attachment: Does the author or editor have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative?


The author wishes to enrich peoples minds with the wonders of doing what you love instead of a job where you have to cringe your teeth everyday just to get by.


Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?

Traces of bias was detected to the success stories she presented in her book. Though she does propose a counter argument in her book.

References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?

The author did cite a lot of references with all these ''success stories'' people in normal society have undergo. This adds credibility to her theory of ''doing what you love".

Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project? I will use this to share to the class, "real life situations" of other people who have succeeded in pursuing their dreams. It will be useful in arguing with ethos, so they can relate what is good or bad for them as humans.
