Brad Anderson was a scruffy stereo salesman in his twenties who took a job at a failing electronics store just so he could work and listen to music at the same time. That chain is now Best Buy, and Anderson is its CEO.

Ann Richards got a teaching degree and assumed that after teaching for a few years she'd settle down as a homemaker. Instead, she jumped into local pol-itics and eventually became the Governor of Texas,and a national icon.

Tom Clancy worked as an insurance agent into his forties. He sold his first novel for a pittance to a little-known publisher. Today he's one of the world's most popular authors.

THESE AND MANY OTHER SUCCESSFUL people were once just ordinary twentysomethings. They had talents, but little or no experience. They had career interests, but few clear goals. They wanted to find work that would be both financially rewarding and personally fulfilling, but they didn't know how.And they had to overcome all the uncertainty and obstacles of being Nobodies.

Entrepreneur and writer Peter Han became fascinated by how others found their true callings and made the journey from Nobodies to Somebodies. In search of the wisdom that comes from life experience,he interviewed 100 highly accomplished leaders in a wide range of fields about how they got their starts.

Han's interviewees ranged from actors (John Lithgow) to CEOs (Craig Sturken) to Senators (Bill Bradley) to scientists (Peter Agre) to nonprofit heads (Wendy Kopp). They shared with him the paths they traveled, the hard choices they made, and the les-sons they learned along the way.

Nobodies to Somebodies is filled with stories of seized opportunity and realized potential; of surprising choices and staggering successes. From these 100 extremely diverse career paths, Han has drawn common themes and lessons, which can help anyone who's eager to start (or restart) a deeply satisfying career.

If you're a young (or not so young) Nobody, don't get discouraged. Learn from the people who have already made the journey you're just beginning.

书籍介绍

Peter Han cofounded a software company soon after college and sold it a few years later. By any measure he was already successful, but he still was curious about how others found long-term meaning in their work. So he set out to learn what a diverse group of influential "somebodies" had done back when they were still "nobodies."

Nobodies to Somebodies is based on Han’s interviews with one hundred fascinating people who figured out how to find and pursue big opportunities. They span a wide range of fields, including politics (former Senator Bill Bradley), business (Reebok CEO Paul Fireman), acting (John Lithgow), activism (Sierra Club president Larry Fahn), writing (Tom Clancy), science (Nobel Prize physicist Anthony Leggett), and the nonprofit world (Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp).

Han synthesizes fourteen big lessons that anyone can apply, including:

• Pay the rent first, conquer the world later

• Become the big fish by mastering the small pond

• Learn when to stay and when to go

Nobodies to Somebodies blends inspiring stories with the proven wisdom of one hundred somebodies who haven’t forgotten what it was like to be nobody.
