Here's my "you had me at hello" moment: this quote from Tennessee Williams sets the stage for chapter 2, and seems to have been written just for me at this point in my life - here goes:
"There is a time for departure, even when there's no certain place to go."

I ended up skimming much of this book - there was a little too much corporate executive name-dropping for me, and too much of it centered on the high-tech industry. But, there were helpful nuggets of truth scattered throughout that have stuck with me - about how to use the time between careers/jobs to its best advantage, and that it's ok to have those spaces as they prepare us for the next phase or "chapter" of life/work/career.

This is the most useful book on career life that I have ever read

She's not someone I identify with easily, with her CEO resume and millions in the bank, but the book had some good ideas about embracing change in your life and viewing new opportunities as different chapters in your life.

An old book by a new friend! Excellent.
