Nearly everyone has entertained the idea of reinventing themselves, especially when feeling unfulfilled or burned out. However, the fear of letting go of years of investment in a current profession often holds us back. In this insightful book, Herminia Ibarra introduces a new approach to career reinvention that challenges traditional career advice. Instead of believing we must first identify our desired path, Ibarra asserts that understanding comes through action and experimentation. Career transitions are not linear but rather a winding journey where we explore various "possible selves." Drawing from extensive research on professionals in transition, Ibarra outlines a dynamic process for career reinvention that involves three key strategies: experimenting with new activities, engaging with new networks, and interpreting our experiences in light of emerging opportunities. Through compelling stories—from a literature professor who becomes a stockbroker to an investment banker who turns novelist—Ibarra highlights common guidelines shared by successful career changers. This exploration serves as a call to the dreamer in all of us, offering practical insights for crafting a more fulfilling future, with outcomes that may surprise us.

Challenging conventional wisdom, Ibarra introduces an innovative approach to career reinvention that diverges from traditional advice often given by career experts. This model encourages readers to rethink their career paths and explore new possibilities, emphasizing personal growth and adaptability in a rapidly changing job market.

"Today's breakneck pace of change has an immense impact on leaders-and as a result, on the organizations they run. All too often, people remain stuck in outdated mindsets and modes of operating, even after others recognize the need for change. Leaders need to learn to pivot even when there are no obvious signals guiding their way. Leadership expert Herminia Ibarra (INSEAD) upends traditional, introspective advice and says act first-and then change your way of thinking. In this unconventional book, Ibarra, one of the world's foremost experts on leadership transitions, provides the first practical guide on how to change when you also need to lead. Defying standard leadership development guidance, which encourages deep self-reflection into strengths and weaknesses, this book shows that the most effective way to change is through action, not analysis, and by learning from experience, not introspection. In short, it will teach you to change from the outside in by first acting like a leader and then thinking like one. Based on Ibarra's flagship executive education program at INSEAD, this book is for new and seasoned leaders alike who need to understand the new rules for success in their own organization, and in the global business environment at large. It's the essential guidebook for anyone who wants to upgrade their role or be the leader their organization needs them to be"--
