The moments of greatest change can also be the moments of greatest opportunity. Adapt more quickly and use the power of change to your advantage with this guide from the editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine and host of the Build for Tomorrow podcast.
We experience change in four phases. The first is panic. Then we adapt. Then we find a new normal. And then, finally, we reach the phase we could not have imagined in the beginning, the moment when we realize that we wouldn’t go back.
Build for Tomorrow is designed to accelerate that process—to help you lessen your panic, adapt faster, define the new normal, and thrive going forward. And it arrives as we all, in some way, have felt a shift in our lives. The pandemic forced a moment of collective change, and we are still being forced to make new plans and adjustments to our lives, families, and careers. Many of us will never go back, continuing to work from home, demanding higher wages, or starting new businesses.
To help people along this journey, Entrepreneur magazine editor in chief Jason Feifer offers stories, lessons, and concrete exercises from the most potent sources of change in our world. He speaks to the world’s most successful changemakers—from global celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Maria Sharapova to innovative CEOs and Main Street heroes—to learn how they decide what to protect, what to discard, and how to move forward without fear. He also draws lessons from history, looking at how massive changes across time can help us better understand the opportunities of today. For example, he finds guidance for our post-pandemic realities inside the power shifts that occurred after the Bubonic Plague, and he reveals how the history of innovations like the elevator and even the teddy bear can teach anyone to be more forward-thinking.
We cannot anticipate tomorrow’s needs, but it shouldn’t take a crisis to push us forward. This book will show you how to make change on your own terms.

ENTREPRENEUR magazine's Jason Feifer says that times of greatest societal change offer the greatest opportunities. While his stories and examples of this concept are fascinating, his youthful enthusiasm, which may suit the content in some ways, lacks the necessary gravitas, weakening the audiobook's credibility and impact. Despite his successful podcast, Feifer could have strengthened his arguments and insights by bringing in a more skillful audiobook narrator. The core of this work is how society changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially with respect to work. A second message is that society should not wait for another cataclysmic shift to occur to make serious changes on our own terms. It's all interesting, but, sadly, the narration is a bit too youthful to be fully satisfying listening. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
