This study aims to investigate the impact of the curricular component "Life Project" in the New Brazilian High School, analyzing how it reflects and reinforces neoliberal ideologies in education. This is a "state-of-the-art" bibliographic research that analyzed open access theses, dissertations and scientific articles published between 2019 and 2024 in the CAPES, SciELO and Google Scholar databases. The selected studies were subdivided into two categories of analysis: 1) Life Project and work: the formation of the “entrepreneur of the self”; and 2) Life Project and meritocratic logic: between desire and (im)possibility. The main results reveal that the Life Project tends to promote the concept of “entrepreneur of the self”, adapting students to a market vision that privileges competitiveness and self-sufficiency, disregarding structural inequalities. This direction reflects a gap in the critical and social development of students. Limitations of the study include access to only three databases, which restricts the generalization of the results, although it provides important insights into neoliberal trends in current educational policies.
