Author Nicholas Lore uses the techniques of his career-guidance network, the Rockport
Institute, to make The Pathfinder a substitute for a great job counselor.
Through goal setting, list making, and other techniques, the book leads
readers though the process of deciding exactly what they want to do for a
living and finding a way to make it happen. Lore realizes that people have
different temperaments and decision-making methods, so he provides
individualized advice to suit each one. He also understands that creating a
new career requires courage as well as desire, so The Pathfinder devotes
plenty of space to motivation and overcoming fears. While anyone looking
for a new career will find direction with this guide, people who didn't know
they were looking may decide to start once they go through Lore's probing
self-examination process.
