NEXT! BY JOANNE LIPMAN

Bestselling author Joanne Lipman (That’s What She Said) delivers a timely and essential book on how to change your life, your career, or your business, and find your purpose. Backed by the latest scientific research, and hundreds of interviews, NEXT!: The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work is an inspiring guide to personal and professional transitions.

“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.”—James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of ALONG CAME A SPIDER

“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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of GOING THERE

“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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and host of the TED podcast Re: Thinking

“A pragmatic guide on how to take control of one’s career. . . . This enthusiastic program will be a comfort to those who feel stuck in their jobs.”—Publishers Weekly

“Practical and approachable. . . . A useful package for anyone thinking about the next step in their life.”—Kirkus

The profound disruptions of recent years have sparked a collective reckoning. We reprioritized our lives and reordered how we envisioned the future. Businesses were forced to pivot, while leaders scrambled to rethink their roles. It was an unprecedented global reset. But in truth, almost everyone goes through this kind of reappraisal at least once in their life—and probably more often than that. Whatever the catalyst, it prompts in us the urgent need to pivot, to ask the question: What’s next, and how do I get there?

In NEXT!: The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work (Mariner, March 21, 2023), bestselling author and journalist Joanne Lipman distills hundreds of personal interviews along with the latest scientific research to answer just this question. Through irresistible storytelling, she takes us inside successful career reinventions (ad executive to bestselling novelist; stay-at-home mom to CEO) and astonishing business transformations (wait ‘til you hear what Play-doh and Viagra have in common). From the laboratories of neuroscientists to the boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies, to the frontlines of the social justice movement, she explores how and why these transformations succeed.

At its heart, NEXT! offers a thrilling argument: that by harnessing the science and understanding the process, we can better understand how to reinvent that new career, change the direction of our lives, or inspire innovation in our organizations. It provides a toolkit that shows how to make meaningful transitions—large or small—and to figure out for ourselves what’s Next!
