Book Description
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.

From Booklist
Han, author and former entrepreneur, seeks the wisdom of 100 outstanding leaders to influence young people in their twenties and thirties who are searching for their path to a successful career. During extensive interviews with CEOs, writers, artists, and entertainers, Han developed information on their experiences in early adulthood as they learned about themselves and how they translated that knowledge into winning stature in their chosen profession. With self-knowledge as the core ingredient, we learn about other requirements such as intelligence and hard work, integrity, flexibility, discipline, effective communication skills, drive, and some luck. The CEO of Tower Automotive noted that the best people in business are those who make mistakes, learn from them, fix the important ones, and keep moving on. She counsels, "That's resilience." This small book offers excellent insight for library patrons who are looking for their first jobs after college or graduate school and are trying to find what they are meant to do.
