Roadtrip Nation
I picked up this book to take with me on a weekend trip. I would highly recommend this for anyone from a junior in high school to the college graduate and a little beyond. I like the way it was put together, it was interesting and stimulating. You could read all the interviews or just a few and not miss a thing. The inserts that told how they booked the interviews and the fun(ny) things that happened to them kept you wanting to read more. It really encourages you to find your passion in life and follow your dreams. Fun and quick reading!

Must Read for 20 Somethings
I just finished reading "Roadtrip Nation" and I must say that I'm inspired to go out and find people new areas to explore and talk to people to find out what I want to do with my life. I am at the exact same spot that Mike and Nate were in during their senior year of college so it feels much more attainable than someone writing who is in their 40s telling you how to live your life. As for the reviewer who writes that there aren't enough people in technical positions or less successful people interviewed that's the beauty of the book. You're allowed and encouraged to go and search out people that interest you. The idea is to explore. Have fun.

A cool book
Very nice, easy to read book. Without any verbiage or pomposity, gives you a sense in how many different ways people live out their lives, and how different things matter to different people. Interspersed in the book are true gems of wisdow that interviewes occasionally drop. Things you've all heard before, but here having strong credibility, because they are clearly life's lessons these people learned through toil and struggle, not read off a fortune cookie.
