I don't think I ever read the title and thought about what it meant. This book isn't about telling you the perfect job for you; it's about the different paths people have taken to try and find their place in the world. Some had almost no physical (i.e. location, job) change, but a huge mental one. Others moved around the world or from one job extreme to another. Some did all of the above. Some folks succeeded easily, some haven't reached it yet. All seem to be continuing to grow and change.
This book has made me realize that asking this question isnt silly or childish or even selfish. The journey really is as important to our appreciation of the final destination as the goal itself and in a lot of the stories was necessary to the appreciation. And one of the sweetest bits to see was that it really is never too late to start looking for the answers.
