SUMMARY:How to Discover Your Life’s Work (Even When the World Is Upside-Down)
DESCRIPTION:Work is how we spend the bulk of our lives. It drives progress\, secures us financially\, and influences well-being\, from impacting mental health to forging life-long friendships.  \nAs a student at Columbia University\, Jodi Kantor was kicked off the student newspaper. A few years later\, with no evidence that she could succeed as a journalist\, she dropped out of law school to pursue her calling. She’d go on to win a Pulitzer Prize as one of the New York Times investigative journalists who broke the Harvey Weinstein story. Kantor knows that early professional steps are often marked by uncertainty and today\, young people are facing scary terrain with political upheaval\, skyrocketing costs of living\, and the unknowns of AI.  \nKantor’s new book\, How to Start: Discovering Your Life’s Work\, will be a springboard for this conversation about careers\, purpose\, callings\, pivots\, and meaning—evergreen topics with an eye to the challenging times we’re living in. For wisdom and perspective that spans generations\, Kantor will be in conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci\, the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the NIH from 1984 to 2022\, a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom\, and the author of On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service\, as well as Derek Thompson\, a journalist\, host of the podcast “Plain English\,” co-author of Abundance\, and author of Hit Makers and Derek Thompson On Work.  \nThey’ll share lessons learned and offer tangible help applicable to college students\, recent grads\, parents\, and those who have been working for some time and still grapple with the question of “What do I want to be when I grow up?”
