Some of us work hard and achieve our dreams. We grow the business, raise and launch our kids, and settle in for the long haul. Some of us have our dreams interrupted - the market changes, a health crisis intervenes, we fail despite our best efforts, we make a mistake, or having reached our destination, we get bored. Whatever our circumstances, we inevitably find ourselves asking, "Is that all there is?"
Thus begins the search. Do we go back to school? Do we start a new business? Do we retire?
While the challenges are different for each of us, the question is universal. And Bruce Turkel has arrived with answers. Bruce's widely-loved commentary and witty observations introduce a collection of engaging interviews with smart people who faced the same questions you are facing and are willing to share their experiences. You'll discover personal stories of their own pivots - career changes, lifestyle shifts, and clever strategies for keeping life's spark glowing. And every one of them are presented with the goal of helping you move forward in your own life.
