Privileged preppie (Lakeside School, Stanford) provides wisdom and guidance. Yeah right. Isn't it always the case that these "follow your heart" people had big safety nets? They could waste away years deciding if something was right for them. This book oozes ego. I I I I I me me me me. Po can't resist writing about himself despite his claims of objectivity. I should have known by the giant photo of him on the back cover. If you're confused about what to do with your life, the last thing you should do is waste hours reading this piece of trash.

This is one of the few books that really had a profound impact on me -- my thought processes, my career, my life overall. It's one of those books that you keep coming back to year after year and want to reread it to glean new information that you did not obtain the previous readings. I'm on my third reading in 2 years and I'm learning something new about myself even now. I highly recommend it for anyone having doubts or are wondering what they should be doing with their life.

It's an interesting collection of stories selected more to get you thinking differently about your life than to inspire. If you are looking for "the answer" or the "feel good factor" you won't get it here. If you are looking for a different perspctive taken from real world examples it might be worth a read. I have rated it low because as a collection of stories its nothing special and does not have any real depth
