Goodbye Day Job

Inspiring true narratives of career change and personal growth

**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 It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI.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

A Personal Transformation Self-Help Guide to Starting a Freedom-Based Business

Escape the 9-5

Too young to retire, too vital to stand still, too experienced to start from scratch? Welcome to your Bonus Years. Increased longevity has gifted us fifteen-to-twenty extra active, healthy working years, shattering the traditional linear career script of learning, working, and retiring. In The Bonus Years, the world's leading expert on career transition, and London Business School Professor Herminia Ibarra, delivers the definitive, social-science-backed resource for navigating later-career transformation. Ibarra reveals that thriving in an extended work life requires abandoning the old linear, plan-and-implement strategies. Instead, successful reinvention comes through 'resourceful discovery' - a disciplined process of active experimentation, trying on new futures, and knowing when to adjust your course. Whether change has arrived uninvited through an industry shock, or a quiet internal restlessness is telling you it's time to let go, this book provides the actionable tools to build transition mastery and successfully map your path forward. Filled with rich and varied case studies of professionals who reinvented themselves across the globe, The Bonus Years is an empowering manifesto for anyone who refuses to stand still. It is proof that to bloom late is not to bloom less - it is to bloom with deeper roots, on your own terms.

Your Next Chapter in Life and Work

The Bonus Years

Your job is not your value. It never was. How to Prove Your Value After the Jobs Are Gone is the no-nonsense playbook for everyone climbing the corporate ladder only to watch the employment contract collapse. The promise of loyalty in exchange for security expired long before AI showed up and made it impossible to ignore. Josh Drean, workforce futurist and co-author of Employment Is Dead (Harvard Business Review Press), exposes the system for what it is and shows you how to stop depending on it. "Will AI take my job?" is the wrong question. Ask instead who you are professionally when job security runs dry. This book guides readers through the Value Stack: practical steps needed to build skills, documented output, and a market reputation that belong entirely to them outside of traditional employment. Written for burned-out professionals, recently displaced workers, and emerging leaders who sense the old rules no longer apply, After the Jobs Are Gone is a direct, practical, and occasionally darkly funny guide that makes an unflinching case: AI isn't replacing human value. It's exposing whether you've been building any. Readers will also find: ¿&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Value Stack and CREATE metrics, for turning everyday work into portable proof of what you're worth ¿&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The shift from employee to economic actor, the overlooked middle ground between clocking in and betting everything on a startup ¿&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Strategic Six, a decision tool for when to stay, when to go, and when quiet quitting is a smart tactical pause ¿&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Five Questions for vetting any platform before you build on it, plus a map of where independent work pays today ¿&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Guidance for leaders on keeping people who can leave by designing work worth choosing After the Jobs Are Gone is an unapologetic, hopeful guide to a working world being rebuilt in real-time. Is AI going to take your job? When it does, you'll be ready.

It's time to shed the beauty myth and find a new freedom.In this powerful and precise book, Saskia Alais examines how we originated harmful beauty ideals and the many ways in which we continue to perpetuate them. Unpicking decades of harmful expectation, confused politics and false empowerment, BOMBSHELL throws a long overdue challenge at the media and beauty industry, exposing the sinister facts that see Western beauty standards affect every aspect of women's lives - from employment and class relations to dating and sexual violence.Featuring the voices of women from all corners of society and interviews with high-profile cultural figures, BOMBSHELL dissects popular contemporary conversation around women and their bodies, ultimately showing how we can detonate the system that does us damage.

Money is loud when it arrives-and silent when it leaves. The wealthy know the difference between noise and signal, and they guard that knowledge like a private passport. In The New Wealth Order, Speaker Singh pulls the curtain back on the rules that quietly govern capital, power, and positioning-rules most investors sense, but few can articulate.What if your "safe" portfolio is actually the riskiest asset you own? What if the real battlefield isn't markets, but the decisions you make when nobody's watching? And what if the next decade rewards a completely different kind of investor than the last?This is not a motivational manual. It's a strategic dossier: how elite families think in cycles, how cashflow becomes leverage without becoming a trap, how property behaves when inflation turns predatory, and why certain global corridors-when underwritten with discipline-create asymmetric advantage. Singh writes with the edge of someone who has sat across boardroom tables and watched fortunes compound... and collapse.You'll recognize patterns-then learn the moves pros make when headlines turn hostile.

How Everyday Behaviour Becomes the Way You Lead

The Conduct Gap

It can be enervating, stressful and, occasionally, triumphal—looking for work has never been more of a roller coaster. Now, in compelling testimonies, Search Work shares that experience, giving voice to those on the wild ride of finding a job.
Search Work&nbsp;asks what we uncover when we pause and examine the textures of something as mundane and tedious as the job hunt. In this anthology, made up of personal essays, archival job ads, labor research, and even a playscript, over fifty contributors reflect on the rituals, cultural artifacts, and emotional turbulence of looking for work. Their collective inquiry shows how and why the quest for a paycheck almost always morphs into something deeper—a search for belonging, a referendum on identity, a macro view of the systemic forces that govern our lives.&nbsp;Through a variety of formats and voices,&nbsp;Search Work&nbsp;shows how&nbsp;the labor&nbsp;of looking does more than land us a new job; it&nbsp;reshapes desire and alters our sense of self, sometimes for good.
The book was inspired by a free weekly newsletter that editor Rachel Meade Smith started ten&nbsp;years ago, Words of Mouth, which shares curated jobs and opportunities with an engaged community of over 70,000.&nbsp;From this community,&nbsp;Search Work&nbsp;brings together a diverse group of contributors—writers, artists, public servants, researchers, service workers, career changers, recent grads—to defang one of life's loneliest activities through an act of collaborative creation.
As entry-level paths vanish and AI redraws the labor map,&nbsp;Search Work&nbsp;offers a timely,&nbsp;refreshingly critical inquiry into the isolating and&nbsp;often&nbsp;absurd experience of job hunting.

A Collective Inquiry into the Job Hunt

Search Work

"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>
