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

Did not finish book.
My love bought me this when I was having a crisis over whether to be a teacher or not. He had enjoyed it a few years ago and thought that I might get something out of it. It's a collection of short biographies collected over a period of years by Bronson, of people who had made decisions that led to more rewarding jobs and/or lives. It doesn't pretend to have all the answers about how to make choices or changes for the reader, but the reader comments at the front certainly indicate that for some people it has worked that way.

Sadly, this was not a book for me. I found the writing annoying - it's definitely not my style - and because there were no obvious applications that I could take away and think about, I ended up feeling like it was just a voyeuristic trip, and one into lives that I wasn't inherently interested in. I've therefore abandoned it, having read bits and pieces over the last six weeks or so.
