    <body><![CDATA[I remember the first time I saw a book titled &quot;What Should I Do With My Life?&quot; in a store and thought to myself, &quot;What kind of ass thinks he can answer that question in a book?&quot;  Based on that cover-based judgment, I left it on the shelf, and didn't give it another thought until, months later, a friend recommended it to me.<br/><br/>I love this book because it is an honest book.  Po Bronson interviews hundreds of people and tells you a handful of compelling stories and does not try to fit it all into a Single Unified Theory of Life.  He points out the patterns that emerged but doesn't force anecdotes to become life lessons.  On a topic where so many authors want to come up with a system to explain it all, Bronson simply gathers evidence and presents it.  Because of that, the book contains real truth.<br/><br/>I recently re-read the book in February but first read it a few years ago.  In that time I've probably loaned or given a copy of this book to a dozen people.  I can't say that about any other book I've read.  So... read it, already.]]></body>
