For frustrated perfectionists everywhere, Finnegan's Way offers a simple solution to finally quiet the self-critical voice in your head and release you from your paralyzing fear of failure: do what you do badly and enthusiastically.Written in an entertaining, easy-to-read, story format, Finnegan's Way unfolds as Starbuck's regular, Finnegan, helps the owner of a failing publishing company through a panic attack of sorts.  The two strike up a conversation, and in their subsequent meetings, Finnegan offers solutions to everything from business matters to getting along with teenagers.I was given a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.  I admit that at first I was hesitant to read this one, but the title stirred my curiosity.  In the end (even though Finnegan got on my nerves a time or two), the advice was so useful to me that I read the book twice, and I'm sure that I'll refer to it repeatedly in the future.  As I've incorporated the ideas in the book, I feel liberated; it put the fun back into my work.
