Goodbye Day Job

Inspiring true narratives of career change and personal growth

"For a hundred years, the argument that this novel is has been identified, reidentified, examined, waged and advanced. What it cannot be is dismissed. It is classic literature, which is to say it heaves, manifests and lasts." - Toni MorrisonIn celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. One of the foundational texts in the canon of American literature, Mark Twain's quintessential masterpiece is known for its unflinching exploration of the dangers of prejudice, the struggle to locate-and follow-one's inner moral compass when at odds with society's pressures, and the true meaning of freedom."Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted," Twain wrote to preface his novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. "Persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot."Originally published in 1884, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was met with mixed critical reception and even denounced for "offending propriety." After more than a century of weathering literary, historical, and scholarly rebuke, this novel from America's greatest humorist holds a prominent place in the canon of American literature; Hemingway once wrote that Huckleberry Finn is the novel from which "all modern American literature comes. . . . There has been nothing as good since."Set in antebellum Missouri and traversing the whole Mississippi River region, Twain's sequel to his picaresque novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer follows Huck as he stages his own death to escape his alcoholic father and sets off on an odyssey marked by comedy, danger, and adventure. He soon encounters Jim, the enslaved man working for Huck's erstwhile guardians, the Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson. Jim had run away after overhearing the ladies discuss selling him, and Huck and Jim set sail on a raft down the Mississippi, headed for the Free State of Illinois.Twain's piquant humor finds full expression in this nineteenth-century literary classic, and Huck's frank, boyish narration, told in the vernacular of his time, offers true merriment. But despite Twain's disavowal, the story's moral center becomes inarguably apparent when Jim is caught and Huck-after one of the most infamous struggles of conscience in American literature-vows to help his friend escape. In Huck Finn, Twain wrote, "a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers a defeat." Huck's journey through nature and "sivilization," and what he learns about human nature is as poignant today as in Twain's own time.Central to the American experience, a staple of classrooms, and a cultural touchstone, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn offers timeless insights into the transition from childhood to adulthood, cruelty and prejudice, and the human condition itself.<ul><li>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li> <li>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children's books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.</li> <li>AMERICA'S PUBLISHER: Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters. Our books enrich, challenge, and defined the American spirit.</li> <li>AMERICA 250: The HarperCollins American Classics arrive in time for America's 250th anniversary celebrations. </li></ul>

Why the career ladder you were climbing has come apart, and what to do about it.Your job title may still be intact. The meetings continue; the monthly presentation still needs producing. But AI is already taking on the reporting, coordination, research and analysis work that once justified whole teams. The change seldom arrives with a dramatic announcement. It's more insidious than that: the hire is paused, the contractor is not renewed, the promotion evaporates.Written by someone building the tools behind this shift, The Next Rung looks at the knowledge-work middle: project leads, analysts, account managers, operations teams and managers whose jobs depend on orchestration. It traces the pressure from boardroom economics to kitchen-table arithmetic, and asks what happens when professional incomes and mortgages are exposed at the same time.Inside, you'll find: <ul> <li> The roles AI is quietly hollowing out </li> <li> Why the 'junior grind' is disappearing </li> <li> The 80/20 Collapse in professional work </li> <li> A practical audit of your exposure and runway </li> <li> The human capabilities that still matter </li> <li> Routes towards trades, portfolio work and community enterprise </li> <li> What AI's gains mean for housing, welfare and inequality. </li> </ul>This is a clear-eyed notebook from inside the transition, focused on judgement, resilience and building work with more human value. It will let you know where you stand, strengthen your options, and help you make your next move before the ladder disappears beneath you.

From building blunders to musical mishaps, there are all sorts of incredible mistakes that you've probably never heard of . . . and some of them have shaped life as you know it! Did you know that Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin BY MISTAKE when he forgot to tidy his lab?Or that an 11-year-old child accidentally invented . . . the ICE LOLLY? What about the chemist whose fiery failure led to . . . the very first MATCHSTICK?

University of Cambridge: Penicillin and Other Incredible Mistakes You've (Probably) Never Heard Of

From a psychotherapist and the New York Times bestselling author of Monkey Mind, a thoughtful, deeply personal exploration of our most difficult emotions, arguing that they are not obstacles to overcome but essential messengers that can lead us toward wisdom and wholeness. What if the emotions we fight hardest against—anger, shame, envy, regret, jealousy, annoyance, despair—are not enemies to be vanquished but essential guides to self-knowledge? When two birthday gifts—a centuries-old treatise on melancholy and a book of Bosch’s hellscapes—arrived just months before the birth of Daniel Smith’s second child, he began questioning our culture’s dismissal of difficult feelings and his own lifelong struggle against these so-called “negative” emotions. Moving between intimate personal narrative and rich intellectual exploration, Smith investigates how our relationship with negative emotions has evolved through history—from the Seven Deadly Sins to modern psychology’s sometimes equally damning classifications. He explores what science, psychology, art, and philosophy can and cannot tell us about the nature of emotion itself, challenging conventional wisdom about what our feelings really are and how they function. With unflinching honesty about his own emotional turbulence and the insights gained from his work as a psychotherapist, Smith makes a compelling case that our negative emotions serve crucial purposes—if only we would listen to what they’re trying to tell us. Whether examining the striking absence of anger among the Inuit or confronting his own emotional inheritance as a new father, Smith offers a perspective that is both deeply humane and surprisingly hopeful. This book is not so much a guide to banishing difficult feelings, but rather an invitation to wholeness—to feeling everything—and discovering that even our darkest emotions contain intelligence, meaning, and the potential for profound transformation.

A Telegraph Best Book of 2025.A News Statesman Book of the Year 2025.'David Goldblatt is possibly the best football historian there has ever been'. Dominic Sandbrook'David Goldblatt is the greatest British sportswriter of the 21st century ... Injury Time is an absolute classic.' James Montague, author of The Billionaires Club and EngulfedFootball, history and the state of the nation - and why it matters.Injury Time is a sharp and thought provoking look at contemporary British society through the lens of football; a society shaken by more than a decade of economic, political and social upheaval, whose causes and consequences have proved hard to grasp.Set against the backdrop of Brexit, Covid and today's 'polycrisis' - spanning economic decline, war in Europe, political unrest and climate change - this book argues that football provides an unmatched vantage point for understanding the nation's state of affairs. From grassroots clubs battling for survival to the rise and fall of Russian oligarchs in the sport, the game's tragedies and triumphs echo the larger shifts shaping Britain.With striking examples such as Marcus Rashford's anti-hunger campaign and the uproar surrounding Gary Lineker's tweets, Injury Time underscores football's central role in public conversation. Football, Goldblatt contends, is the ultimate societal bellwether - a reflection of Britain's virtues and flaws alike.

In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction.

An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose.

Managing Your Money: The Compact Guide

At 40, a Fortune 500 employer paid Neil H. Solomon a $13,000 bonus on $6.5 million of revenue he had personally produced.
That check did not end his career. It opened a door he had walked past for years.

After nearly dying in a river in Costa Rica, Neil spent almost twenty years chasing one question:
Why do some people see opportunity everywhere, while others never see it at all?
The answer wasn't talent, money, or luck. It was perception.

Most of us live inside hidden architectures, invisible systems that quietly decide where we live, what we fear, how we work, what we owe, and what we believe is possible. We don't choose them. We inherit them. And we pay for them every day, in costs we never see.

The 1% Door is the story of what came next: the exit, the seven-year winter, the businesses built and lost, the deals made, the collapse that followed, and the rebuild in another country with a different currency.
It is also a different way of seeing.

Built from entrepreneurship, business systems, real estate investing, buying a business, partnerships, collapse, recovery, financial freedom, wealth building, money mindset, and international living, this book shows you how to spot the systems shaping your life, name what they are quietly costing you, and find the door you have been walking past.

This is not a traditional business book, a simple self-help book, or a typical business memoir. It is a guided way of seeing for readers questioning career change, corporate burnout, financial independence, and the default life they were taught to accept.

Inside this book, you will see: Why most people do not have an effort problem. They have an architecture problem.
 How hidden systems shape money, work, fear, family, location, and opportunity.
 What business, deals, partnerships, and failure can teach about freedom.
 Why waiting to live until retirement, until the kids graduate, or until things settle can become its own prison.
 How changing the country, currency, structure, or default can change the cost of an entire life.
 Why the path to a different life begins with perception, not permission.


Page by page, Solomon shows that fear is often inherited rather than examined, that money mindset is not about slogans but structure, that business failure can reveal more than business success, and that the door most people are waiting for may have been open the whole time.
Most people don't have an effort problem.
They have an architecture problem.

Solomon isn't a guru. He saw that the door was open, walked through, and came back so you could see it too.

"There is another room. The door was never locked. Most people never walk through. You can. I did. I'll show you where I found it."

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World

How to Have a Fulfilling Career That Does Good

'A wonderful book.' Cathy Rentzenbrink'A remarkable tale' The SpectatorA giant wheel of Comte¿ - a cheese full of delight, a mosaic of flavour - can sometimes become flat. Despite all that's gone into making it and caring for it, its complexity mysteriously vanishes, its spark dies. Cheesemongers know that. That's why they regularly test the cheeses: they insert a cheese iron deep into the wheel and extract a sample from its core. Sometimes they can cure it and sometimes they can't.A highly successful BBC and Guardian Journalist, somehow Michael Finnerty's life had become flat. His psychological cheese iron told him he needed to make a change, and he becomes convinced his salvation lies in cheese. Michael becomes an apprentice cheesemonger at Borough Market, and is plunged into a world of intense physicality, extraordinary knowledge, and total geeky passion. From learning the cheese's personal nighttime riders - Castillon Frais needs to sit in its box underneath some waxed paper but its box needs to be kept in a plastic sheath, Comté sits unwrapped in a cool cupboard, and has a quick saline bath before bed - to learning intricate ways to wrap their different shapes; from being able to taste nuances between the cheeses, to slicing fingers, bruising toes, getting allergic reactions, and the simple dog-tiredness of being on your feet from the crack of dawn till night, Michael's new job is more demanding than he could ever have imagined - and he loves it. Then when Borough Market is subjected to a terrifying attack, Michael realises through cheese, he has found something even more powerful - community.
