[Kat · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book had nothing about careers for homebodies. I expected maybe a personality assessment, a listing of careers for introverts, a questionairre to help you discover if you are indeed an independent soul. Instead this entire book was about starting a business. There are many other books out there if you are looking into starting a home business. These books are more recent and in depth than this book. So, unless you are interested in becoming an entrepreneuer, dont waste your time on this book. It gives the same exact basics (laws, taxes, how to do a business plan, etc) as other entrepreneurship books and absolutely nothing about careers for people who have a "homebody" personality.
