If you're at a crossroads, this is the book you need to read to begin chasing your dreams. Includes a foreword by Sheryl Sandberg. Do you have a little voice in your head telling you to pursue the thing you love? Leaving a comfortable job to pursue a passion is a brave, bold move - but it's far from impossible. In this inspiring read When to Jump founder Mike Lewis has curated a community of people to share their stories about taking the leap into the unknown - people from all walks of life who left the safe inertia of their own circumstances to try and do what they really wanted to be doing. These are empowering, compelling tales about taking risks and embracing fear. Forget what you should be doing, what do you want to be doing? What do you love doing? When to Jump will show you that starting something different is possible. Nothing will change unless you make the change - the journey starts here... Mike has recently been awarded the Goldman Sachs accolade '100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs'. "Whether you're burned out, in a rut, or just feel that you want something else, Mike Lewis's When to Jump is the book for you. With more than forty stories of people who decided to make a major change, this book offers the inspiration as well as a practical and simple framework to help you make your own jump. A must read for anyone seeking to not only succeed but thrive." - Arianna Huffington, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Thrive and The Sleep Revolution "A lively and inspiring guidebook for anyone who wants to make the jump from normal to extraordinary." - Tony Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unshakeable and MONEY: Master the Game "The book that will change your life today." - The Sunday Times Style "A smart and sensitive take on how to make positive changes with confidence.
