This book had a lot of lofty quotes and ideas about finding your calling but it was not as in-depth or engaging as other books I've read on the topic of identifying your life's mission and pursuing it. The painted quotes were cute but did not necessarily win me over.

If you're looking to finally do that thing you've always wanted to do but never even whispered it allowed to your significant other or pet, I'd recommend Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way or The right to Write over this book. Even if your life's calling is to join the Peace Corps, go back to school and get your law degree or something you don't think is creative, Cameron's book focuses on using writing and other specific activities to help you figure out what it is you want to do and mentally clear away your emotional baggage on the way. The Crossroads is a little too “top level”.
