What Should I Do With My Life?
I’ve re picked up a copy of Po Bronson’s What Should I Do With My Life? Its an inspiring yet truthful book. Its full of real people, real lives, and real choices. More posts to come. . . .
If there is a message to the book, I hope it’s the message that’s never stated but present in every single chapter. So often, people feel stuck. They feel trapped by inertia or by financial constraints or by a lack of experience, or the simple shortage of hours in the day. In traveling across both oceans, being welcomed into the lives of strangers, investigating so many domains I had absolutely no prior experience with, I was demonstrating that the world is a far more open book that we usually imagine it to be. The world is full of incredible, rich opportunities. If you strengthen your curiosity as you would a muscle, by exercising it regularly — if you can empathize with the lives of others, if you are willing to see a potential friend in the face of every stranger, if you are willing to suffer some embarrassment and discomfort, and if you are patient — you will not be stuck forever.
