Boldt presents his formula for finding one's "calling," the work one is put on the earth to do. A series of exercises in the form of self-examination questions is given, and the listener is instructed to stop the tape and write down the answers. Reading in a calm, peaceful voice, punctuated by brief bridges of New Age music, Boldt carries the listener through the process. Meaningful answers to these questions will require a good deal of thought, and the listener must be motivated to put forth the work necessary. M.A.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
