From the bestselling author of That's What She Said a timely and essential book on the art and
science of reinvention and an inspiring guide to personal and professional transitions. The
disruptions of recent years have sparked a collective reckoning forever changing the way we
think about life and work. We reprioritized our lives reordered how we envisioned the future.
The pandemic changed society in many ways but among the most powerful was a collective
rethinking of our relationship to our jobs. Millions quit the workforce in 2021 and 2022 and
stunningly almost a third had no new job lined up to go to. We reevaluated how much time we
wanted to spend at work where and how we wanted to spend it our motivations and our ideas
about what constitutes a ?good job? in the first place. Whatever the catalyst it prompts in us
the urgent need to pivot to ask the question: What's next?and how do we get there? In Next!
bestselling author and journalist Joanne Lipman draws on hundreds of personal interviews and
academic research papers to answer just this question. Lipman seeks out people who have been
successful in reimagining their work or life speaks with scientists and researchers who study
transformation and provides case studies and a toolkit of practical steps showing how
companies and individuals can change. The result is a more holistic view not just of how
transitions work but of how to make them more successfully in our own lives.
