Description

A full-color, highly graphic, fun-to-use handbook primarily for 20- and 30-somethings who are seeking a fulfilling worklife that will make them happy and keep them engaged. The advice is a distillation of the pathways and discoveries from the first 10 years of Roadtrip Nation's interviews with admired professionals across industries and the arts; 10 seasons of the PBS show by the same name; the career development content that Roadtrip Nation produces for 6,500 colleges across North America; and Roadtrip's work with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the UN Social Innovation Summit, and the Clinton Global Initiative. The material is presented in three sections of inspirational and practical bite-sized chapters with guided journal-like prompts throughout to make the reading interactive and the learning personally relevant. Readers will end up with a self-mapped path for creating a worklife they love. An appendix is filled with stand-alone exercises for those who need more help figuring things out. Hastags throughout encourage users to post their self-discoveries to share (all hosted by RTN) to broaden/deepen the reader experience.

Reviews

"Excellent for new graduates, midlife job seekers, and anyone who desires a change." -Library Journal
"I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see new books on the self-help shelf that rattle our idea of what belongs there. Roadmap expands our definition of what to expect from the genre and what to expect of ourselves-- really helps to blow the dust off the old picture." - Jenn Witte, Bookseller, Skylight Books
"Roadmap proves that a life catered to our own unique strengths and interests is not only possible, but with the right tools and insight provided, something we can start pursuing today." -Datev Gallagher, aka Ladiedottie, YouTube Celebrity
"This book is a great reminder of why we should always follow our dreams and never settle. It's inspiring, motivating, fun, emotional, and so much more. It's an honor to be included with such talented role models."-Ariel Helwani, MMA Reporter: FoxSports and MMAfighting.com
"This book is not going to solve all your problems for you; let's just get that out of the way. What it will help you to do is ask the right questions; not "what am I supposed to be doing" but "what do I love doing" -Veronica Belmont, Technology and Gaming Host
