Title: Self-Serving and Vapid
Review: Po Bronson graduated from Stanford with a degree in Economics and then went on to a relatively successful career in i-banking. Suddenly he realized that his life was meaningless and be chucked it all be become a writer (What else?).He wrote this book about Yuppies like him who are seeking meaning in their lives. For the most part, they come up with the expected answers -- religion, teaching, working for non-profits.Because Bronson is relatively young (30s), he lacks the experience necessary to provide true insight (Sorry, Po, Silicon Valley existed long before you wrote about it). Because most of his subjects are his age and come from similarly privileged backgrounds, they do too. It would have proven more fruitful for him to have talked with some older people who had fought in the trenches and gained the perspective to view the quest from the far end.The subject obviously struck a chord. It remains for someone else to understand and explain it.
