I really did want to finish this. My official last textbook hopefully ever so why not finish strong? Well, it’s strongly boring and confusing - I’m sure the theories are great and I did enjoy the conversations I had about them in class but my gosh this was dense and so hard to understand. Happenstance shouldn’t be a concept I have to research after reading about in a textbook…

Informative, but poorly written and formatted. 👎🏽

This was a required book for my master’s program. There was a lot of helpful information.

Probably the poorest written textbook in my academic career. Counseling for Career Development Spring 2026

I read this book for my career development course. It has some great information if career counseling is an interest for you.
