	Reviews for Po Bronson
		Bronson frames the edited responses with witty, down-to-earth commentaries, such as those of John, an engineer whose dream of building an electric car crumbled under his personal weaknesses; and Ashley, a do-gooder burdened by the unlikely combination of self-hatred and a love for humanity.
		Bronson wants to understand what makes these people-among them a timid college career counselor trapped in his job, a farmer bullish on risk-taking, a financial expert grabbing an opportunity to rebuild her brokerage firm devastated by the World Trade Center tragedy and a scientist who rethinks his lifelong work and becomes a lawyer-tick.
		Bronson has obviously done his homework and, with the sure eye of the journalist, has come as close as anyone to rendering a coherent and compelling account of the local culture and technological landscape.

	Books by Po Bronson
		Author Po Bronson was asking himself that very question when he decided to write this book—an inspiring exploration of how people transform their lives and a template for how we can answer this question for ourselves.
		Bronson traveled the country in search of individuals who have struggled to find their calling, their true nature—people who made mistakes before getting it right.
		Bronson is at his best describing this radically shifting environment, where everyday folk with the right idea and the stamina stand to make millions in a couple of years, skipping rungs on the career ladder at a mind-boggling pace.

	Slashdot \| Review:Nudist On The Late Shift
		Po Bronson is one of the first serious writers to mine the human side of the second Great Goldrush that is Silicon Valley.
		Bronson is drawn to the young billionaires on their way up and the bizarre and oddly poignant supporting cast of wizards, visionaries, programmers, engineers and money-launderers in suits - workaholics all, that is turning a small valley in Northern California south of San Francisco into the world's next Hong Kong.
		Bronson is not in the league of Coupland.

	MetroActive Books \| Po Bronson
		Because Bronson is a terrific storyteller--sensitive to detail, articulate and persuasive--the character sketches are riveting.
		Bronson can make an average salesman's average day as interesting as the shrouded-in-mystery story of the animator who sits buck naked at his computer terminal.
		One gets the impression that Bronson's conveyed enthusiasm is due in part to a genuine affinity he has for mankind, and in part to the rare ability he has to make any Menlo Park or Sunnyvale employee's story colorful, even (perhaps especially) if the storyline does not entail becoming a multimillionaire by age 27.

	Po Bronson's 'Bombardiers' Review by David Louis Edelman
		Po knows all the secret vices of America's business community: material greed, sexism, the machine mentality, and the smug assurance that no matter how bad things get, the government will always be there to bail them out.
		Bronson's capable hands stretch laissez-faire capitalism into the realm of the absurd — one enterprising young salesman corners the market on staff breakfasts — but it's never so absurd that you can't see the same mentality at work behind the headlines of the Wall Street Journal every day.
		Po Bronson's flight of the bombardiers is well worth cheering on.

		Such as: when people betray themselves, when people betray others, when people cheat or lie or fool themselves, when people act unethically to get ahead, when people pretend they will get rich when they won’t, when fathers abandon support for their children, etcetera.

		The younger, Po Bronson, wrote a wry take on Silicon Valley and all the greedy Gates wannabes with his satire, The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest.
		Bronson's novel is peppered with techno-speak -- ironmen, the infinite loop, and a lot of industry asides.
		Bronson may have always cheered for the underdog, but he wasn't always a writer.

	Peter O'Kelly's Reality Check: Quiet Desperation (washingtonpost.com) [Review of latest Po Bronson book]
		Quiet Desperation (washingtonpost.com) (Review of latest Po Bronson book) "Bronson would like readers to believe that his book is deeper, more existential than a book about, say, career coaching, but it simply isn't.
		Quit your job – or, as Bronson puts it at one point, take a "gripless open-handed jump into the void," as though the void were nothing but life off the career track – and get a job you like better.
		In the end, Bronson sums up what he has learned, not for the sake of the average reader, but for a group of CEOs "from some of the biggest companies in the country.

		Bronson describes this world as a novelist might -- "The Nudist on the Late Shift" is a pastiche of keenly observed scenes and characterizations.
		Bronson hangs out with programmers, makes sales calls with salespeople, sits in on meetings between start-up entrepreneurs and venture capitalists and captures it all with the same kind of breezy eloquence that makes his novels enjoyable reads.
		That "culture mash" is fertile ground for a writer with Bronson's eye for the odd and absurd.

		Po Bronson's new book tackles the biggest, most threatening, most obvious question that anyone has to face, 'what should I do with my life?' It is a problem, he explains, that is increasingly encountered not just by the young but by people who have half their lives or more behind them.
		With the intoxicating days of the 80s and 90s behind us and the world entering recession, many people are being forced to confront their real aims and desires.
		And the modern route to self, discovery, Bronson suggests, is to trade what you have for a completely different way of life.

		In all this Bronson is really going after the entire system which allows firms to profit massively from insane schemes and financial failures.
		Po Bronson drew on his own experience as a day trader to write this book, and it shows.
