Most self-help books come across as a little too ‘American’ for British tastes, and I admit that I do find myself having to filter out some text to find the core that I can relate to without feeling too ‘happy-clappy’.

There is one book that I have found which I think is absolutely excellent. It isn’t your standard self-help book (though it is still written by an American) but it is a wonderful collection of the stories of real people who have asked themselves the question “What should I do with my life?“. Nobody has a 3-step plan, just their experiences, shared alongside others’. The author (Po Bronson) manages to find some common threads, some points for consideration but this book has no answers, only questions. It is uncertain. These are the things that ring of true wisdom to me.

If you ever find yourself pondering this question, and who doesn’t, then get a copy of this fantabulous book.
