I normally don't read this type of book (life experience/advice/make yourself better book), but I decided to give it a try. I like it because the stories not only showing all the successful ones. People can have passion and still clueless about the execution of their dreams. I like the book because it's not trying to tell me what to do with my life or how to achieve my dream and fulfill my passion, instead it's sharing other people's experinces through Mr. Bronson's eyes. It's like having an older person sharing his/her esperiences. It's captivating.

Po presents a very realistic picture of professionals struggling with the "what" question. Po interviewed over 800 people from coast to coast and shared from their stories, what they learned about the experience of wrestling with one of the most important questions in our lives. He shows the good, the bad and the ugly

That this wasn't a book trying to give advice but rather, offered an interesting collection of real people's lives was fantastic. It made me inspect my own life and I gleaned a couple of person to do's out of it. The writing style however, made retention difficult. I found myself constantly rereading pieces to remind myself what the point of that chapter was. If you truly want to get something out of it, I'd sit down with a pen & paper to jot down notes as you go along. This is the first Bronson book I've read, so I'm not familiar with his writing style. If the style in which this book was written was designed to make you reread to reflect, then it's rather clever. Otherwise, just be prepared.

The book is written and laid out nicely to captivate the short-attention spans of Gen X'ers and Baby Busters(according to David K. Foot's taxonomy of demographic groups).

In other words -- the series of short stories act as windows into people's lives, people who have or currently are asking themselves that very question, "What should I do with my life?" Allowing the reader to absorb the book in bite size chunks and pay special attention to stories that relate to him.

Specific answers will not be found in the book. What the reader will find is a journey of cumulative tales that will help her understand that many people of all walks of life are asking themselves that very same question, but handling the challenge of finding their passion in their own way. The reader will find one common thread in all of the stories…

Po Bronson writes, "We all have passions if we choose to see them. Most of us don't get epiphanies. We don't get clarity. Our purpose doesn't arrive neatly package as destiny. We only get a whisper. A blank, non-specific urge. That's how it starts."

If you don't enjoy this book, then you aren't ready to search for meaning in you life...every story in the book can help you in your journey. It won't answer your questions, but it will offer you some guidance through other people's struggles and triumphs, some of which you will relate to and some you won't. Definitely recommended to anyone who likes to think about their life and what it's all about.

I liked this book a lot. I admit I was looking for more specific advice, but as I finished it, I realized that the point was that no one can give you the advice. You have to be open, aware, take risks, remember what you enjoy. The book contained interesting stories of others' journeys as they found their niche in world. Overall a really good, thought-provoking book.

I think Mr. Bronson did a good job putting this book together, it's beautiful, the way destiny has its ways in other peoples' lives. It really makes you think about your life, and you never know when it can change.

Although I was pumped to read this book, I could not get past the first few chapters. I could not get into it. My husband picked up the book too and after a bit asked me if I liked it. I said no and he said Good, it's just not me . I find Mr. Bronson's writing childish, immature and interferes with the story he is trying to tell. I am an avid reader and really enjoy a good book. This is not one of them.
