I do a fair amount of career counseling, especially in the area of career transitions. What I have found is that most people neglect to do the introspective work that is necessary to really get down to their deepest passion around vocation. This little book, helps you to do exactly that and provides a structure to do it quickly.
While this book has some value as a standalone resource, it is best to use it as a companion to WHAT COLOR IS MY PARACHUTE. You don't necessarily need the most recent edition either.
This book is expensive in terms of what you get with respect to the number of pages and words, however,the idea behind it is excellent and the structure provided will certainly save you time and provide you with many useful insights about a career or job change.

Well, if you have the book itself. There is not much new information. This is a good idea for a class, but I would not recommend it if you are buying it on you own. On the other hand, there some cool stuff in it, but I don't think it is worth the price.
