Here's a video of Richard Florida giving a talk at Google on his new book, Who's Your City. Florida argues that choosing which city you live in is just as important for your life as choosing the right spouse and the right career.
I've only been able to watch the first 5-minutes of the video so far, but it looks excellent. I look forward to watching the whole thing once I get my Criminal Law exam out of the way on Monday. I also look forward to picking up a copy of his book -- it's been getting many good reviews.
Here are examples of how where you live affects your chances of finding a spouse and graduating high school.
Richard Florida was here at George Mason University until last year. We really lost something when he left for Toronto. It seems like GMU does a great job at attracting top talent, but not such a good job holding on to them...
P.S. -- In case you're interested, here's where Florida chose to live when he was working at GMU.
