Recommendation

Many women enter adulthood believing only one right path to a successful home and work life exists. Leadership expert Rebekah Bastian explains that this belief blinds young women to unexpected opportunities and makes them feel like failures when life doesn’t go according to plan. In truth, Bastian writes, there is no one right way to live your life. Even negative experiences provide lessons, and no matter which path you take, fulfillment and happiness remain on the table. Her book takes readers on an imaginary journey to illustrate the power and possibilities of “blazing your own trail.” 

Take-Aways

  • In this imaginary journey, you’ll see possible outcomes of several pivotal decisions.
  • Approximately one-third of college graduates launch their careers immediately; two-thirds explore other options for five to ten years before embarking on a career.
  • Seeking fulfillment, you chart a career course in the nonprofit sector.
