"This book is not going to solve all your problems for you; let's just get that out of the way. What it will help you to do is ask the right questions; not "what am I supposed to be doing?" but "what do I love doing?" -Veronica Belmont, Technology and Gaming Host

The authors' goal for this book, having lived the lessons it provides, is to empower individuals to create meaningful lives doing what they love. To foster the process, the book offers a wealth of exercises, diagrams, quotes, charts, cartoons, and texts geared to help readers let go of misaligned self-perceptions, define core personality traits and desires, and become the next new version of themselves. Rebuilding oneself involves such actions as drowning out others' expectations, defining success, taking action, overcoming failures, and including others on the journey. VERDICT Excellent for new graduates, midlife job seekers, and anyone who desires a change.

Gr 10 Up—This nontraditional guide helps readers to determine how to live their lives. Put together by Roadtrip Nation, a nonprofit educational organization that encourages young people to pursue their aspirations, the book is comprised of three different parts, each with a theme: letting go of others' expectations; defining one's values, interests, and passions; and achieving one's goals. Breaking up the text are inspirational photos, illustrations, and quotes by individuals interviewed for the Roadtrip Nation project. Engaging and comprehensive, the content is clearly organized, letting readers stop and start whenever they choose. The index will help teens more easily navigate this volume. The last few pages are left blank so that users can take notes—which may make it a less than suitable purchase for libraries. The inclusion of seven projects add a valuable interactive element. VERDICT Fans of self-help books will greatly enjoy and benefit from this highly accessible read.—Jess Gafkowitz, New York Public Library
