Po Bronson, What Should I Do With My Life?


( Random House, 2002 )

What Should I Do With My Life? Many of us ponder this question with frequency. Author Po Bronson was asking himself that very question when he decided to write this book—an inspiring exploration of how people transform their lives and a template for how we can answer this question for ourselves. Bronson traveled the world in search of individuals who have struggled to find their calling, their true nature—people who made mistakes before getting it right. Reading this book is like listening in on an intimate conversation among people you care about and admire. Even if you know what you should do with your life, through this book you’ll:
  • Witness stories of individuals who made the right decision despite lacking experience, others who overcame “class notions of where they belong,” and others who resisted distracting temptations.
  • Gain insight from individuals on unique paths discovering their own personal truth answering the ultimate question.
  • Find wisdom and guidance from those who found meaningful answers by daring to be honest with themselves.

You can make decisions to pad your wallet. You can make decisions to maintain proper appearances. You can make decisions because they're safe or predictable. You can make decisions because it'll keep your parents off your back. You can make decisions simply to delay making harder decisions. I began this book because I was drawn, artistically, to those who've made decisions to serve none of those ends. I was interested in people who resisted those pressures and made a decision simply because it was good, or right, or true to their nature - and were willing to be challenged by the consequences.
