I think anyone at any age can benefit from the book, but it is especially helpful for mid-career professionals. Often they're like the students I work with in the Executive MBA Program at Columbia Business School. So the book is also aimed a grad students.
The title comes from a "book" my daughter wrote when she was eight. She was trying to figure out what she would do when she grew up and understood if she had to get a job, she'd want one that would be fun forever, where she could do whatever she wanted.
My great book design team came up with the cover when they understood I wanted to get across the idea of fun, plus the idea of work. I think Allie Tucker, 143 Creative, did a great job.
I'd been writing this book over the course of maybe eight to ten years; the hardest part was sitting down, putting it all together and finishing it. I did all the research myself.
What I learned from writing this book is how very valuable it is to have a good editorial team and a supportive family. Even though I'd written and revised the manuscript after my wife Carola reviewed it, the book didn't really fall into place until I had the help of a professional editor, Lorraine Fico-White of Magnifico Manuscripts.
I also learned that when you finally finish, it really is a lot of fun to have a book. One that I'm proud of.
