When to Jump
Autor Mike Lewisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 ian 2019
Credem că momentul în care decizi să îți schimbi viața nu trebuie să fie un act de impulsivitate oarbă, ci o tranziție asumată și structurată. În paginile acestui volum, cititorul va descoperi nu doar inspirația necesară pentru a asculta acea „voce interioară”, ci și un plan concret pentru a transforma incertitudinea în reușită. Mike Lewis nu scrie dintr-o perspectivă teoretică; el însuși a făcut pasul de la stabilitatea oferită de Bain Capital la rigurozitatea sportului de performanță, demonstrând că un salt profesional este, mai presus de toate, un exercițiu de curaj calculat.
Apreciem în mod deosebit structura acestei cărți, care nu se limitează la experiența autorului, ci devine o antologie a curajului, reunind 44 de mărturii ale unor oameni din medii diverse care au părăsit „inerția siguranței”. Cine a parcurs Career 180s de Mike Harris va aprecia aici profunzimea analizei psihologice a eșecului și a fricii, precum și validarea venită din partea unor lideri globali precum Sheryl Sandberg. Spre deosebire de alte ghiduri motivaționale, When to Jump pune accent pe acel „cadru de lucru” (framework) care te ajută să identifici momentul optim pentru schimbare.
Fie că te simți plafonat într-o rutină confortabilă sau ești la un pas de epuizare, Mike Lewis oferă o perspectivă proaspătă asupra succesului. Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în onestitatea cu care tratează riscul: nu este vorba despre a ignora frica, ci despre a o folosi ca busolă. Este o lectură esențială pentru oricine simte că jobul actual nu mai reflectă viața pe care și-o dorește cu adevărat.

Descriere scurtă
--Tony Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unshakeable and MONEY: Master the Game
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. The right book at the right time, When to Jump offers more than forty heartening stories (from the founder of Bonobos, the author of The Big Short, the designer of the Lyft logo, the Humans of New York creator, and many more) and takeaways that will inspire, instruct, and reassure, including the ingenious four-phase Jump Curve.
