Just Who Will You Be?: Big Question. Little Book. Answer Within. (ROUGHCUT)

I purchased this book for my sister at Christmas time. She had requested it. It isn't a very big book, so consider it a short read when you buy it. For the price I paid for it, I really hope my sister reads it many times!

Quick, easy read....I think the message it carries is very important for today's young people looking for their place in the world....but also find it made me reflect on my own life...years down the road from graduation....will share with my children and grand-children when they are older.

This brief little book by Maria Shriver is sincere and simple. In it, she poses the question; "Just who will you be?" She tells of her own journey to find the answer, sparked by a commencement speech - including an extended poem - that she gave to her nephew's graduating class. She realized that stripped of her exterior roles and identities - First Lady of California, wife of actor turned politician, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, member of the Kennedy family and network television newswoman - she felt empty and uncertain. Not surprisingly, her spiritual search revealed that roles and fame don't define you. Every human is worthy of love and respect. If you don't mind an occasional touch of the sentimental and even, sometimes, sophomoric, and you're curious about the book's famous author, getAbstract believes you'll enjoy this visit with her.

A feel good read for when you are way "over 21" and not sure how the rest of the world views you.

I saw Maria Shriver on Oprah and had to buy this book. It seems like a few notches above the Chicken Soup books. Warm and fuzzy, but really not a lot there.
I was able to read it a manner of minutes. I read it again to make sure I hadn't missed something, but it was still the same.
I get what she is saying, but maybe who I will be is a person who wants more depth.
