When one book outsells all others on the subject by a 20-to-1 margin there has to be a good reason. Here's what the critics have said:

The Philadelphia Inquirer: "Lucht's book is about as complete as any book on this far-ranging subject possibly could be.

The Denver Post: "Get this book! It will grip you with its specific tips on how to change, keep or better perform a job in the $100,000-plus range. It can even help you improve your advancement chances right where you are."

American Way: "The message is crystal clear: Don't be afraid of the unknown  take a risk that may pay off handsomely in the end."

Financial World: "How-to" books deserve to be judged by the ROI they deliver. On that single criterion, John Lucht's Rites of Passage will far exceed even the most demanding investor's hurdle rate."

Of course, they were talking about the original edition of the book. Today there's a greatly expanded edition. It includes everything those critics were talking about. Plus, now it also brings you the latest information on executive-level use of the Internet for job-changing and career-building purposes.

RiteSite.com, also created by John Lucht, has been fashioned to specifically address the serious hazards that have been keeping knowledgeable senior executives from venturing onto the Internet to help advance and manage their careers. Today's Rites of Passage provides the ideal background for evaluating and using RiteSite.com and other Internet job sites if you have a $100,000 to $1 Million+ career to establish, protect, and advance.

If you do not have the latest Rites of Passage with detailed Internet coverage included, you should certainly get it. And if you do have it, please refer to itespecially Chapter 14as you take advantage of RiteSite.

The History of Rites of Passage: Lavishly praised by critics when it first appeared in 1988, Rites of Passage has been reprinted and updated annually ever since...becoming even more widely read and influential year after year.* Today, with well over 300,000 copies in print, the book has already helped hundreds of thousands of executives find new and better jobs and/or move up in their current company. It's also the career-development text for MBA students at major institutions, the handbook used by many outplacement firms to help senior executives find new jobs, and a favorite resource to help officers retiring from the armed forces find civilian jobs.

John Lucht has also written the Executive Job-Changing Workbook, which further helps users implement his Rites of Passage principles. The Workbook combined with Rites of Passage constitutes what John Drake, founder of Drake Beam Morin Inc., the world's largest outplacement firm, has called "the strongest, most comprehensive total program available in print."

Completing Lucht's "career tools" is Insights for the Journey ... Navigating to Thrive, Enjoy, and Prosper in Senior Management. "It's not about getting a new or better job," says Lucht. "In a very brief, distilled format, it's my lifetime observations on succeeding and moving up."
