About the book
Seth Godin's collection of short essays is printed in full color and laid out more like a magazine than a conventional book. Godin frames it as a manifesto urging readers to take on the work they have been avoiding, to accept that projects may not work, and to embrace the tension of making art.
Jessica Lauria, co-founder of By Karen and Jess, called it her main management tool, and product manager Ashley Hathaway said her former boss gave everyone a copy.

My old boss gave everyone What To Do When It’s Your Turn. Just looking at that book makes me motivated now.
Jessica Lauria (Co-Founder/By Karen and Jess)
This book is my professional bible and my key management tool. It dives into our human instinct to make excuses, settle for less and complain about why we haven’t achieved success. But the main idea always rings true – that it is up to us to make change - For others and for ourselves. Nothing is stopping you but you. It’s a reminder of the awesome power of now, the power of positivity and just simple the power of showing up and moving forward. I have used it in every management review I give because Seth uses incredible insights to uncover our insecurities and provides clear actions on how to move beyond our immediate issues. It’s an inspirational book that is also a step by step guide to keep you motivated.
