SUMMARY:Free: Jodi Kantor “How to Start: Discovering Your Life’s Work“
DESCRIPTION:With warmth\, honesty\, and inspired wisdom\, Pulitzer Prize 
 winning journalist Jodi Kantor expands on her triumphant Columbia Univer
 sity commencement address\, tackling the question\, “How\, in this envir
 onment\, is anyone supposed to find and start their life’s work?” Jodi K
 antor’s groundbreaking reporting has toppled media magnates\, sparked re
 form worldwide\, and foretold many of the unsettling changes we see in t
 he workplace today. But before all of this\, Kantor was kicked off her c
 ollege newspaper. Society expects perfection\, but Kantor knows those fi
 rst professional steps are often rocky. She also knows that young people
  are facing new and frightening terrain\, with political upheaval\, skyr
 ocketing costs of living\, and the unknowns of AI. Kantor casts aside pl
 atitudes and false hope to offer tangible help. Work is how we spend muc
 h of our time. It’s our engine of progress: how cancer therapies are inv
 ented\, political campaigns won\, thrilling art created and matched with
  an audience. Instead of letting cynicism take over\, Kantor identifies 
 two principles to help young people discover their life’s work: craft an
 d need. By pairing the two\, they can navigate tough\, sensitive choices
 : how to think about money. How much risk to take on. When to buck what 
 others are saying. Powerful and provocative\, How to Start is a statemen
 t of faith for young people as they make their way through uncertain tim
 es\, offering wisdom\, strategy\, and a set of aspirations to launch the
 ir careers and last their whole lives.\n\nMore info: https://www.symphon
