Bloom Book Club - Spring 2021 Selection

/

Bloom Book Club is a recovery community focused on reading and discussing books as they related to mental health wellness and recovery.

For our Spring selection, we'll be reading Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want .

About the book…

Until recently, Tess Vigeland was a longtime host with Public Radio's Marketplace; it was a rewarding, high-status job, and Tess was very good at it—but she'd begun to feel restless. Without any definite, clear sense of what she wanted to do next (but an absolute certainty that what she'd been doing was no longer truly satisfying), she walked away from her dream job and into a vast unknown. Suddenly she was no longer “Marketplace’s Tess Vigeland,” she was just Tess Vigeland.

For the multitude of Americans who change jobs mid-career (by choice or circumstance), the growing legions of freelance workers, and the entrepreneurially-minded who see self-employment as an increasingly more appealing and viable option, Tess Vigeland has created a personal and well-researched account of leaping without a net. With her signature humor, she writes honestly about the fear, uncertainty, and risk involved in leaving the traditional workforce—but also the excitement, resources, and possibilities that are on the other side. Part memoir and part field guide, this book offers a funny, thoughtful, and provocative look at how to find happiness, satisfaction, and success when pursuing a career less ordinary.

A message from Amber ~

“I chose this title for our Spring selection because Spring is often a time for rebirth, starting fresh - blooming. After a very strange and and trying time during 2020, there has been a growing trend of people reevaluating their lives, rethinking how they want to spend their time and their work. More than ever, 2021 may be the year many “leap” from their careers to try something new - something daring.” ~ Amber
