About this ebook
Are you looking for the right path in 2023? This book tackles the question that most of us face at some point in our lives: 'what should I do with my life?', and provides illuminating answers.
Bronson's book is a fascinating account of finding and following the people who have taken the ultimate challenge of self-discovery by uprooting their lives and starting all over again. From the investment banker who gave it all up to become a catfish farmer in Mississippi, to the chemical engineer from Walthamstow who decided to become a lawyer in his sixties. These stories of individual dilemmas and dramatic - sometimes unsuccessful - gambles are bound up with Bronson's account of his own search for a calling.
'Inspirational... This book fascinates because of the broad spectrum of testimonies' Financial Times
'Something more than the usual self-help guff. What Should I Do with My Life? is closer to the oral histories of Studs Terkel or This American Life than to Tony Robbins' Times
