The book: "The Mid-Career Success Guide: Planning for the Second Half of Your Working Life."
The author: Sally Power, professor of management at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business. The book is available online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble (www.bn.com).
The motivation: Power wrote the book in part in response to her decision to redirect her academic career. It offers a new model for approaching midcareer transitions such as starting a business, focusing not on jobs but on an individual's work, or the skills and interests with which they can meet the needs of their current employer and possible future ones.
