What Should I Do With My Life by Bronson

(review by Julie)
I started very seriously asking myself what I should do with my life back in 2002. I was two years out of college, had a great job and was fairly miserable, professionally. So, I started working on my masters in business, knowing that it was the general direction I wanted to move.

In 2004 I stumbled onto What Should I Do with My Life in a book store. I almost didn't pick it up because the last thing I wanted was another cheesy self help book, but for some reason I took a second glance and noticed the subtitle: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question. It turns out that the book is not a self-help book at all. Instead, it's a collection of short biographies of people who were struggling with the same question: What Should I Do With My Life? Some of the people were wildly successful and others were failures, but mostly, they were somewhere in between. The book is not about success so much as life's journey

I really love this book because of Bronson's refusal to sugar coat reality, but also because it reminds me of that time in my life when I was trying to figure out what I wanted and who I was.
