Who's
Reading, Teaching, and Using
What Should I Do With My Life
What
Should I Do With My Life? is
used by far more than professionals at a mid-career reckoning point. It's
widely read by those facing college graduation, and it's been assigned to
incoming freshman at some big universities like UMKC, Rutgers, Tenn State,
and West Texas A&M. One New York State Supreme Court Justice used it
to counsel his son upon graduation. But it's also picked up by those
recently diagnosed with cancer who have been given a short time to live.
Many National Guardsmen have read the book after they return from their
year tour, and one doctor contacted me from an Air Force base in Germany -
he was giving the book to soldiers who had lost a limb (to help them
accept the inevitable changes in their life). Two famous actresses have
read the book to help them understand the lives of regular people
(Hah!!!), and one 17-year-old homeless youth in Denver was inspired by the
book during the time he was getting off the streets. Housewives read it as
they contemplated reentering the workforce after years caring for their
children at home. A surprising number of retirees pass the book around, as
a call to find a meaningful purpose in their retirement years. Many
churches assigned it for Sunday school bible study. These are all
audiences I never imagined in my wildest dreams would be reading my words.
