"You don't get to be my age without navigating all kinds of transitions. Some you
embraced and some you never expected. Some you hoped for and some you fought as
hard as you could." - Melinda French Gates
Transitions are moments in which we step out of our familiar surroundings and into a new
landscape - a space that, for many people, is shadowed by confusion, fear, and
indecision. The Next Day accompanies readers as they cross that space, offering guidance
on how to make the most of the time between an ending and a new beginning and how to
move forward into the next day when the ground beneath you is shifting.
In this book, Melinda will reflect, for the first time in print, on some of the most significant
transitions in her own life, including becoming a parent, the death of a dear friend, and
her departure from the Gates Foundation. The stories she tells illuminate universal lessons
about loosening the bonds of perfectionism, helping friends navigate times of crisis,
embracing uncertainty, and more.
Each one of us, no matter who we are or where we are in life, is headed toward
transitions of our own. With her signature warmth and grace, Melinda candidly shares
stories of times when she was in need of wisdom and shines a path through the open
space stretching out before us all.
