Average Rating: 
Rating: - I loved it, but had to take some salt with each section
I've been really struggling with this question and saw it at the bookstore, as I'm not one to read self-help books (mainly because normally the people writing them are the ones who really need the help). I gobbled it up and really enjoyed many of the stories.As a Republican by nature, I found most of his fawning over his Clinton staffer buddies annoying, and also had to stop reading when I found myself reverting to childish class envy. Many of the stories are about privileged pooballs from rich families who got to go to Ivy League schools without much effort and had even easier entrees into lucrative careers such as investment banking or lawyering. I skipped some of these stories altogether as a tiny violinist kept playing sad songs on the coffee table in front of me, in sympathy for the deflating egos and discovery of the fleeting nature of materialism these poor saps had to endure. I am a hick originally from a sparsely populated Western state, and had to work my way into big-city dot-com era life, and I too found myself lacking in passion for my chosen path (although I certainly did not want to return to my old briar patch). I found many of his stories humbling, intriguing, and inspiring. While he never explicitly answers the question, I think this is the point--most of us, if not all, and even the snobby San Francisco wine-and-cheese liberals have to muddle through and DO before we FIND...
Rating: - Change is good!
As someone who recently left a somewhat lucrative but unfulfilling job, I thought this was a great book. Coming to a 'crossroads' is a difficult & scary time for most people. It's interesting to read how others faced with similar situations acted. If you're at that point in life, definitely get this. Other interesting books about people reaching a career crossroads & what they did - "No One's Even Bleeding" & "Delano"
Rating: - Don't buy the hype
If you're interested in what some unbiased reviewers actually think about this book you might want to check out the excoriating reviews in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
