What Should I Do with My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question by Po Bronson

4.0

Though this is one of my favorite books, I liked some chapters/people's stories better than others. Po Bronson, (who may be compared to the late, great Studs Terkel) takes us through why people choose the jobs they have. It opens up with a man who gets a letter from the Dalai Lama when he's 18 that says he is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior scholar. So, he becomes a lama. All of the interviews are interesting, and Bronson shows just a little bit of himself as a non-objective, interested participant in this exploration of destiny/fate/choices/life.
