What should I do with my life?

What should I do with my life, an article by Po Bronson discussing his last book on the topic of life's meaning. I found the book very interesting and inspiring in many ways, maybe because I'm still struggling with the problem myself.Read the article, you might find it stimulating, here's a few snippets from it:

There are far too many smart, educated, talented people operating at quarter speed, unsure of their place in the world, contributing far too little to the productive engine of modern civilization. There are far too many people who look like they have their act together but have yet to make an impact. Environment matters, but in the end, when it comes to tackling the question, What should I do with my life? it really is all in your head. The first psychological stumbling block that keeps people from finding themselves is that they feel guilty for simply taking the quest seriously

If you liked the article, you'd probably also like the book. The book is a series of interviews and stories focused on individuals and the life changing decisions they made. It is of course available at Amazon.com
