Synopsis
As he did in his previous WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE, Po Bronson explores the landscape of human experience through well-developed portraits of everyday American families whom he interviewed about their personal struggles. The inspiring subjects in WHY DO I LOVE THESE PEOPLE? include a woman "who never wanted children" but whose tireless efforts to provide the best for her son who has severe ADHD puts her up against the system; or a teen who, despite the "good divorce" of her parents still suffers from depression. What makes these portraits special is that Bronson does not disappear as an objective observer; he engages the subjects, asking probing questions, responding, and commenting. Each sketch addresses a question that Bronson poses at the start, such as "How long should we keep trying with family members who continuously give us pain?" or "Is a child's nature fragile or resilient?" Collectively, Bronson's portraits illustrate what Bronson said about one story: that it is "an example of how a family weathers a crisis."

Publisher's Note
The author of What Should I Do with the Rest of My Life? draws on the profound and personal stories of twenty ordinary individuals to explore the complex mysteries of family life, explaining how, after years of conflict, a family can make the transition to a better place, and how to cope with such trials as divorce, death, infidelity, abuse, illness, and money.
Industry reviews
"[Bronson's] latest...is even more Oprah-friendly than the first....Like [Tom] Wolfe, Bronson puts great stock in reporting; the yarns collected here, most quite touching when left to unfurl by thermselves, were winnowed from an impressive 700 initial interviews." New York Times Book Review - Alexandra Jacobs (01/15/2006)
