When to Jump, If the Job You Have Isn't the Life You Want
|
An inspirational book that lays out the “Jump Curve”—four steps to wholeheartedly pursuing the career of your dreams—through experiences from a variety of people who have jumped and never looked back.
When Mike Lewis was twenty-four and working in a prestigious corporate job, he eagerly wanted to leave and pursue his dream of becoming a professional squash player. But he had questions: When is the right time to move from work that is comfortable to a career you have only dared to dream of? How have other people made such a jump? What did they feel when making that jump—and afterward? Mike sought guidance from others who had “jumped,” and the responses he got—from a banker who started a brewery, a publicist who became a Bishop, a garbage collector who became a furniture designer, and on and on—were so clear-eyed and inspiring that Mike wanted to share what he had learned with others who might be helped by those stories. First, though, he started playing squash professionally. |

"What makes this book fun are the collections of stories from fellow jumpers. P.R. executive to bishop in the Episcopal Church, video-game marketer to inventor of the Lyft Carstache, and so forth. The jumps don’t have to be unusual to be moving."
— Judith Newman, New York Times Book Review The most successful start-ups are often defined by one or two key decisions that massively accelerate their growth and value. The same is true for individual careers. This wise and engaging book will inspire you to go farther, faster, by showing you how to take intelligent risks at exactly the right moment. Read it before you leap!
— Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and co-author of the #1 NYT bestsellers The Alliance and The Startup of You “The book that will change your life today.”
— Kate Spicer, The Times & The Sunday Times “Life is what you make it.” For Mike Lewis, who left a high-paying corporate job at the young age of 24 to become a professional squash player, these words could not be truer. Which, is not to say that accomplishments happen overnight. In the course of his own “jump,” Lewis spoke to over 40 highly qualified experts, everyone from Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, to the designer of the Lyft logo, Ethan Eyler, and learned that fulfillment requires risk. When to Jump isn’t just a kick-ass collection of stories narrated by an impressive full cast, it’s also a road map to creating your own success. Change is intimidating, but these experts have handed us a parachute. Make the jump.
