Event Description:

Before becoming a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Jodi Kantor faced early setbacks, an experience that shapes her new book, How to Start: Discovering Your Life’s Work. In it, she offers practical guidance for young people navigating an uncertain world, emphasizing that meaningful work is driven by both craft (skills and interests) and need (what the world requires). Rather than offering easy answers, Kantor provides a thoughtful framework for making early career decisions about risk, money, and purpose. The book serves as a realistic and hopeful guide to building a fulfilling and lasting career.
