A Book About "People Who've Dared To Be Honest With Themselves"

A reader suggested What Should I Do With My Life? by Po Bronson. Here's part of the intro:

I learned that people have all sorts of psychological stumbling blocks that keep them from finding themselves. Some of these are badly tangled misconceptions, some are deeply rooted fears. The two are related – like any prejudice, misconceptions get fabricated and sustained by fears.

What are some of those fears and misconceptions? Just a tiny sample:

The misconception that this question only matters to overeducated Americans suffering from ennui, when in fact almost anybody can find the question important to them.

The fear that our passions will put us in the poorhouse.

The fear of irreversibility, limiting future options.

The fear of not being on a path with a known destination.

The fear that what we need for ourselves might tear us away from our spouse, partner or friends.

The misconception that our life doesn't begin until we find an answer, when in fact our failed attempts often establish why we will find our future answer so meaningful, that is, in contrast to our past.
