Staff Pick
Bruce Grierson has written a beautiful, intelligent book about what constitutes a meaningful life; it is often funny, though never flippant, and its overriding tone is one of urgent curiosity: how do we end up doing what we feel we are meant to do? Reading Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this impressively researched and incisive book, Bruce Grierson draws on over 300 stories of so-called "U-turners," who have risked their livelihoods to answer a sudden wake-up call. We meet people who change political parties and careers, doctors who quit to become poets, men who become women, people who suddenly become revolutionaries for a cause they didn't care about the day before. In chapters that address everything from the neuroscience behind epiphanies to the possibility of "forcing" a U-turn, Grierson brilliantly describes and elucidates this powerful, mysterious phenomenon, and in doing so illuminates all of our continual struggles with life choices and identity. Review:"Read this book for the tales it tells, for the inspiration it imparts, or for the knowledge it so generously gives."
