RosettaBooks Publishes New York Times Bestselling Author Reynold Levy's New Book, Start Now

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RosettaBooks announced today the publication of Start Now: Because That Meaningful Job Is Out There, Just Waiting for You by Reynold Levy ? a concrete, actionable and practical guide from someone who has spent countless hours advising hundreds of aspirants on how to identify and successfully compete to fill meaningful jobs.

Statistics show that one in five Americans change jobs every year. Drawing on his extensive career in the non-profit, commercial, and public service realms, Levy helps readers think about their future creatively and prepare for it resourcefully by laying the groundwork on how to: 

• Network naturally and adeptly;
• Inteview effectively;
• Perform well in your current job;
• Move up in an appealing organization, or moving out gracefully to a better position elsewhere.

Start Now is a gift for newcomers to the workplace; the recently fired; desiring to advance with their current employer; and those eager to move on. It's also for many who have found what they do for a living deadening, disappointing, and tedious. Learn how to succeed at work without being imprisoned there. And how to ask others for help.

Start Now is available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook wherever books are sold.

Levy is represented by James Levine of Levine | Greenberg | Rostan Literary Agency. 

Praise for Start Now

"Sit down and listen to Reynold Levy. He is a wise man and in this vivid book he extracts the life lessons forged from an enviable career as CEO of a galaxy of important institutions. In clear, crisp sentences, he distills what he has learned about recruiting people and inspiring executives. Readers are treated to a buffet of anecdotes and experiences that can read as a How-To Book, a compelling guide to determine what you wish to do in life, and the best ways to build a meaningful career."
?Ken Auletta, bestselling author and writer for the New Yorker

"Reynold Levy has spent his life serving others and achieved the kind of personal and professional success that I admire. His book offers invaluable insight into charting a meaningful career path that is drawn from his experience at the helm of some of the world's most complex and consequential nonprofit institutions. Anyone who aspires to make a difference - and to do so with integrity, kindness, and humor - has much to learn from Levy's hard-won advice."
?Lee C. Bollinger, President, Columbia University 

"This book is about work?finding work you love, getting it, doing it well, leaving it?but it is also a book about how to live. Part memoir, part social analysis, part practical guide, it is a terrific read: wise and fun, deep and light, full of stories about people and problems, and the sheer good pleasure of a job that gives back to the world. Never moralizing, just right, Start Now is a book for us all."
?Jennifer Homans, prize-winning author, founder, The Center for Ballet and the Arts, Dance Critic, The New Yorker
