When I was going through the rough patch I came to one of two conclusions.

One, either I'm destined to be unhappy forever because I keep hitting these

existential crises every few years and our society really only has two words for them it's either a

midlife crisis or a quarterlife crisis or this crisis state is

accelerating and we're all going to be experiencing it more frequently.

As I started doing research for the book, I realized that the latter was really the case.

And so one big concept for people to understand is that I've kind of co-opted pivot from Silicon Valley.

This is certainly not a new word or a new concept.

But typically when businesses talk about pivoting,

it's to change strategy to save the business from collapse.

Plan A didn't work, so now they have to pivot or die.

And in our careers, it's different.

Pivot is now the new normal.

That actually, pivot is a state of mind, and it's a method that I've written

about in this book that we can all get better at because if we're going to have to be

and it's a privilege also to ask what's next as well part of part of hitting a career plateau or a pivot point is a sign of our

success.
