The job market: back to the drawing board...

Po Bronson writes, "The previous era of business was defined by the question, Where's the opportunity? I'm convinced that business success in the future starts with the question, What should I do with my life?...Asking The Question aspires to end the conflict between who you are and what you do. There is nothing more brave than filtering out the chatter that tells you to be someone you're not.

Asking The Question is nothing short of an act of courage: It requires a level of commitment and clarity that is almost foreign to our working lives."
