Maria Shriver has been everywhere from Larry King to Oprah talking about her new book Just Who Will You Be?

The book is a genuine heartfelt look at a question millions of people all over the world are wrestling with -- Am I creating the person I want to be?

Each week, people ask me some version of this question. Typically,
it starts out with a question about work, career, balance, happiness,
even retirement. I am asked - How do I know what I want to do? How
do I find what makes me happy when I have so many responsibilities? How
do I explore what I believe and want when I am so afraid?

What emerges, however, is a true desire to be heard and understood;
a desire to create a way of life that reflects the person we are and
the person we are becoming.

As a society we are conditioned to consider our vocation and success in terms of wealth, prestige, prominence and the like.

But something is happening. Slowly, quietly, we are starting to
question this norm. We are beginning to realize that true success is
achieved when we design our lives and careers around who we are, rather
than contort ourselves to fit a societal image of success. Revolution Me! is testament to movement.
