A modern parable for anyone who chased the life they were told to want instead of the one they'd choose. "Your life is the answer to the questions you're not asking." Simon Millar has the title, the salary, and the shelf full of awards. He's spent twenty years making people want things they don't need, and he's good at it. He also has a voice in his head he can't quiet, telling him he's in the wrong room. When a friend dies suddenly, he finally listens. He walks out of his career mid-sentence and into the streets of New York, with no plan and a head full of questions. Instead of a plan, he finds a worn Brooklyn café and the people who drift in and out of it. They help him see he's been asking the wrong questions all along. He slowly starts asking better ones and, almost without meaning to, builds something that's actually his. This is a story for everyone who's ever wondered if they're living the wrong life. A book about asking better questions-and the life you choose once you do.
David H. Rollo is a conceptual strategist, which is his tidy way of saying he is a creative soul who learned how to land the idea. For twenty-five years, he has aimed that curiosity at brands, leading ad agencies big and small and studying what makes people choose. A Life Worth Choosing, his debut novel, turns the question on himself and on the choices that quietly shape a life. Born in Toronto, sharpened in New York, and now based in Atlanta, he is a father of two, a compulsive doodler on napkins and beaches, and the author behind the Substack The Unconsidered.
