Roadmap: The
Get-it-Together Guide for Figuring out What to Do With Your Life by Roadtrip
Nation is an easy read that is helpful for those who are unsure of where to go
in life. When I first pulled the book from a shelf at a Barnes & Noble
bookstore, the grainy texture of the book cover made me doubt the content in
the book. I figured it would be a nice book to display on a coffee table, but as
I read through the book I realized there was more to it than I initially
thought.
Not only is the book an easy read, but it is
interactive too. For example, the authors ask “questions about why-starting
with, where are you headed?” and the authors give you room to answer. For example,
“The voices around me are saying, ‘I should be a ___________________________.’”
The book’s vibrant colors, supportive diagrams, and attractive pictures also
add to the enjoyable reading experience.
The
authors use quotes by notable people, such as Gregory Carroll, CEO of the
American Jazz Museum, Tony Hale, actor (and Buster Bluth on Arrested
Development), Jim Koch, founder and brewmaster of Samuel Adams, and many
others, who offer helpful advice on your career and your life. The authors even
give snapshots of other notable people talking about how they found the job
they love, how they got there, what they had to overcome, etc. to provide
inspiration for readers.
You
can find the interviews these notable people gave on the Roadtrip Nation website. With the
purchase of this book you get a free limited membership to the Roadtrip Nation
Interview Archive were you can watch thousands of videos. Roadtrip Nation are
also the creators of the acclaimed documentary series on PBS. Check your local
