The work world doesn’t look like it used to, with few rewards for loyalty. Brown, Kiefer, and Schlesinger (Just Start) advise readers to take their cues from serial entrepreneurs, who have learned to make uncertainty work to their advantage. The authors take a tough-love approach to dealing with a changing market, putting the responsibility for adapting squarely on the shoulders of their readers. Success can be achieved by using the satisfying proactive “ALBR” process: Act, Learn, Build, Repeat. Peppering their plan with snappy sound bites and stories about entrepreneurial challenges and triumphs, the authors demonstrate the characteristics that will help anyone weather change: an aversion to risk, the propensity to avoid overthinking, and the willingness to take a small step toward their goal. The book is a solid choice for job candidates, people looking to advance their careers, anyone who feels stuck, or anyone concerned with career longevity. The simple plan and inspiring stories may be just the push readers need to prepare themselves to master the changing job market. Agent: Jeffrey Krames, J.K. Literary.

Looking for the playbook for a thriving career in radical economic real-time change? Brown (New York Times), Charles S. Kiefer (organizational learning expert; president, Innovation Associates), and Leonard A. Schlesinger (Baker Foundation Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business Sch.), coauthors of Action Trumps Everything, build upon their previous work, reiterating that to thrive in an unpredictable economy one must think and act like an entrepreneur. After interviewing many successful entrepreneurs, the authors synthesized the process into four steps: Act, Learn, Build, and Repeat (ALBR). They explain the rationale for this proactive model and give examples of successful professionals using these steps in their careers. New or augmented material in this title includes information on welcoming obstacles, using ALBR to find or create a job, and teaching the steps to others. VERDICT This title will be of critical value to business majors, self-employed professionals, and student advisors.--Jane Scott, Univ. of Portland, Clark Lib., OR
