Description
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'.

Person
Mike Lewis received his BA, magna cum laude, from Dartmouth College and worked at Bain Capital before deciding to pursue his dream of becoming a professional squash player. Mike is the Founder and CEO of When to Jump, a community featuring the ideas, stories, and people who have left certain paths to pursue entirely different ones. Launched in January 2016, the When to Jump platform has reached millions of impressions through digital media, brand collaborations, and in-person experiences. When to Jump, a tangible print collection of original stories from the community with clear guidance on how and when to jump, is his first book. Goldman Sachs named Mike one of the 100 most intriguing entrepreneurs in 2017. He lives in San Francisco.
