What Should I Do with My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question by Po Bronson
3.0
I enjoyed this book for what it was: a peek into the lives of people who are in some stage of the "what do I want to be when I grow up" process.
The stories themselves were, on the whole, pretty good. Some better than others, but overall they were at the least entertaining and at the most, thought-provoking and profound.
I didn't always understand the author's intentions on how the stories were grouped. Or - maybe - I didn't feel the need to try and categorize the stories at all. I also wasn't entirely thrilled with how the author oftentimes inserted his own thoughts and life experiences in the middle of someone else's story.
This is one of those books that if you enjoy reading about how other people are making their way through the world, it's a good read. If the subject matter doesn't interest you, though, it's not that great as to push your way through it.
