02.19.09 Book Review: Breakdown, Breakthrough  By Wayne HurlbertBreakdown often seems to strike out of the blue, yet we rarely get to this point without warning signs along the way, writes Kathy Caprino in her empowering book Breakdown, Breakthrough: The Professional Woman's Guide to Claiming a Life of Passion, Power, and Purpose. The author notes that many women, due to a sense of loss of empowerment, are experiencing breakdowns in their lives.  Breakdown, Breakthrough The Professional Woman's Guide to Claiming a Life of Passion, Power, and Purpose By: Kathy Caprino Published: Oct 1, 2008 ISBN: 9781576755594 Format: Paperback, 237pp Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Kathy Caprino was a highly successful businessperson, with a model family, but she felt her life was unbearable. Her family noticed it too as her home life reflected her breaking down in her career. She suffered a breakdown, and recovered her passion and power when she had a breakthrough in understanding. Her book shares the powerful stories of other women who felt a similar loss of empowerment in their own lives. The directness and unvarnished truth of the experiences provide the backdrop for the author's breakthrough discovery process.
Kathy Caprino guides women through the process of regaining their personal power that has so often been lost in the workplace. The author understands that women need a sense of purpose for their lives, and for others in their immediate families. This passion for collaboration, sharing, and helping others can even take on a global vision and perspective. Whether the cause of the personal breakdown is due to mistreatment, loss of self esteem, or any of a number of other causes described in the book, a woman receives the guidance to reclaim her personal power. For me, the power of the book was the author's understanding that women can experience breakdowns from any number of causes, and that they can also achieve a breakthrough for reclaiming and enriching their lives. The case studies shared in the book provide background to the theoretical concepts, and serve to aid the reader toward reaching a breakthrough. As a woman discovers the purpose of her life, and feels the passion for that purpose to feel she would give up everything for it, she develops the commitment to her life's journey. Kathy Caprino recognizes that life is a journey, and not a destination, and provides the framework for enjoyment of the voyage of life. I highly recommend Breakdown, Breakthrough: The Professional Woman's Guide to Claiming a Life of Passion, Power, and Purpose by Kathy Caprino, to any woman who feels she has lost control of her life and has experienced a loss of personal empowerment. The book outlines the means to win back that passion and sense of purpose that gives a woman the power to speak up and achieve her dreams. Read Breakdown, Breakthrough: The Professional Woman's Guide to Claiming a Life of Passion, Power, and Purpose by Kathy Caprino, and begin the voyage from the loss of power that leads to breakdown, toward reaching a breakthrough that can change a life for the better.
