Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jodi Kantor expands on her triumphant Columbia University commencement address in "How to Start: Discovering Your Life's Work." This book tackles the pressing question of how individuals can find and begin their life's work amidst a challenging global landscape, marked by political upheaval, rising living costs, and the uncertainties of AI. Kantor, known for her groundbreaking investigative reporting, acknowledges that initial professional steps are often difficult, rejecting superficial advice for a more tangible approach. She introduces two core principles, 'craft' and 'need,' as a framework to help young people discover their vocational path. By pairing these concepts, the book guides readers through sensitive choices concerning finances, risk-taking, and when to challenge conventional wisdom. "How to Start" is described as a powerful and provocative statement of faith, offering wisdom, strategy, and aspirations to launch careers that can endure a lifetime. It serves as an encouraging guide for young people navigating uncertain times, providing both philosophical depth and practical advice. Written with warmth and honesty, it aims to instill a deep connection to work and a sense of meaning in one's career.
