"NEXT! is brilliant. It's an invaluable handbook to help you climb out of that lifestyle or job rut, or make the jump to a second or third career, or take a big breath and reach for the stars. I'm glad I read it cover to cover last night. I'm already thinking about what I should do NEXT!" -- JAMES PATTERSON "Success and well-being depend on learning to anticipate and ride waves of change instead of being knocked over by them. As a journalist and leader, Joanne Lipman has spent much of her career honing that skill, and her engaging book is filled with useful ideas for rethinking your next steps." -- ADAM GRANT "Whether you're looking to transform your career, your business or your life, Joanne Lipman is here to prove you can get there from here. Packed with real-life stories and the latest research, NEXT! is the book everyone needs right now--inspiration to embrace change and a push to take control of your future." -- KATIE COURIC "What's next, and how do you get there? Next! takes readers inside successful reinventions and transformations to offer an actionable toolkit for change in work and life when a pivot is needed to survive and thrive.

" -- USA Today, "20 Spring Books We Can't Wait to Read" "Changing one's life is never easy, but NEXT! provides a map to help chart the course. Lipman was the editor in chief of USA Today, the deputy managing editor at the Wall Street Journal, and founding editor-in-chief of Condé Nast Portfolio, so she is well situated to offer career advice. The book comprises a wealth of stories about people who have made successful, and often radical, transformations in their professional lives. Lipman's advice is practical and approachable, and the cases she cites are instructive." -- Kirkus Reviews "This enthusiastic program will be a comfort to those who feel stuck in their jobs." -- Publishers Weekly.
