Synopsis
Novelist Po Bronson had hit a wall in his career. He was tired of writing fiction, his TV writing gig had evaporated when the show got cancelled, and his freelance magazine assignments were few and far between. With a baby on the way, he was worried about the trajectory of his life, but wasn't sure what his next step should be. Slightly envious of people who seemed to know what the purpose of their lives were, he set about interviewing a number of them…and ended up with about 900 interviews, which he distilled into this fascinating best-seller. Grouped loosely by theme, the personal profiles in this book display a wide range of attitudes and approaches to decision-making and destiny-seeking. Some of the subjects hopped from job to job before discovering their passion. Others were seemingly born with maps to their destinations. Some are inveterate risk-takers and world-shakers. Others simply plod along savoring the slow changes along the way. Unlike those in a Studs Terkel book, the interviewees are not lone voices telling their story--Bronson asks pointed questions, interjects comments, and editorializes to make larger points. He is an aggressive and vibrant interviewer, and his questions are thought-provoking for the subjects and the reader as well. The theme that emerges and becomes Bronson's battle cry is one of self-determination and truly enjoying one's work--aside from any question of monetary reward or social status.

Industry reviews
"Well-researched, engaging stories."
Kirkus Reviews  (10/01/2002)

"No doubt, many readers will find solace in WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE? But Bronson's easy-to-swallow advice seems a recipe for a narrow, lonely life. His rejection of limits and obligations is not liberating but depressing. His book's runaway commercial success suggests that he is saying exactly what many people want to hear.
Observer (London) - J. Peder Zane (02/16/2003)
