FROM DRIFT TO SHIFT-JODY B. MILLER
FROM DRIFT TO SHIFT is an inspirational book by Jody B. Miller who is an executive recruiter, life coach and also a strategic consultant. The novel is about how change can bring true meaning and happiness to your work and life. By paying attention to signs we can shift professionally and personally. Shifting gives us courage, strength and fortitude to move out of comfort zones to a place of belonging. In her novel Jody B. Miller helps us to use our mind by thinking critically to overcome challenges and pursue what we love most to become happy.

This novel narrates the stories of eight groups of people who have been through a lot in life and shifted. These are examples of people who have struggled with their family, experienced depression went through life threatening challenges and were high achievers. Others sought spiritual direction, experienced childhood trauma and changed careers more than twice. All these people are now living a fulfilling life.

I needed to read an inspirational book because I was going through a hard time of being jobless. So this novel has given me a chance to do online work. For this I am grateful and I appreciate. It gave me an opportunity to look back at how meaningful life is. I can totally relate to the stories because I have relatives who almost lost their lives to cancer but by God’s grace they survived. The stories touched me personally and have made me appreciate life even more. These are the reasons why I liked the novel.

The limitation of the novel is the first story of Serita and Reid I felt that it was long and boring. It would have been short and precise like the story in chapter two.

I rate the novel FROM DRIFT TO SHIFT 3 out of 4. She was able to present stories that are motivational to people from all walks of life. Change is a progress it’s a step by step journey from despair to hope. The biblical references were touching and reminded me on importance of spirituality. The novel has inspired me to follow my dreams and desire to be an online writer. I have passion in writing so I have experienced a shift. It is a good novel for people drifting in life, miserable in jobs and relationships. The stories are relatable and interconnecting to everyone.
