I love your statement "I'd rather fail as a writer than succeed as a lawyer." I am also a lawyer trying to make the leap to a new career. I have spent 4 years becoming a certified life coach but I just can't seem to make that final leap. Reading (and re-reading) The Happiness Project has definitely nudged me closer and closer. I have never felt passionate about the law and seeing someone who has left the law behind to go on and do something both personally fulfilling and inspiring to so many (including myself) gives me a little more strength to make that leap. I come from a family of lawyers who can't understand why I would leave such a prestigious career behind for something that is outside their comfort zone. So I gave each of them a copy of "The Happiness Project" for Christmas. I hope after they read it ,they might understand a bit more about the difference between being "successful" and fulfilled.
