Update about My Soon-to-be-Published Book Unhappy Lawyer

I'm excited that my book Unhappy Lawyer: A Roadmap to Finding Meaningful Work Outside of the Law is coming out in July and thought you might like to hear a few details about it.

One of the things I love about the book is that it contains interviews with real lawyers who have left the practice of law and transitioned into fulfilling alternative careers. There's a lawyer-turned pastry chef who has her own delectable candy store. Lots of you are curious about what it would be like to work for a law school career services office--you'll meet a former practicing lawyer who's now an Assistant Director for J.D. Advising. How about a lawyer who's pursuing an acting career in Hollywood? And there are many more!

Inspirational and informative, the interviews show you how these lawyers made their career transitions out of the law and offer you words of wisdom as to how you can make your own.

I'll let you know as soon as I have the actual publication date in July. For now, I'm scrambling to get all of the elements taken care of, reviewing the copyedited manuscript, and dreaming up ways of promoting what I hope will be the definitive step-by-step guide to compel you to ditch your unsatisfying legal career for what the interviewees have--work with meaning, purpose, and passion!

Looking forward to your book Monica. I love hearing stories about lawyers who have made the transition successfully.

I plan to try it myself one day.
