From the author of Why Losing Your Job Could Be The Best Thing That Ever Happened To You (Penguin) comes this hopeful and helpful 5-step guide on taking the chance to rethink work, life and everything.​

We fear change so much that often we fail to see the opportunities it can bring. We will do anything to avoid change. Any change that comes along is instantly labelled a bad moment in time. But what if we can change that feeling? What if we can see that maybe, if we let it, change, of any size, can offer us a gift.​

This book gives you permission to make mistakes, to get messy, to unravel every now and then. This book encourages action and gives you permission to try. This is a book about hope, and about starting something new – and all the messiness that that involves.​

 ​

Because after all, what’s the best that could happen?​
