The Next Day
内容简介
梅琳达·弗朗奇·盖茨 (Melinda French Gates) 罕见地从一些她人生中的关键时刻中汲取灵感，从以前未曾讲述的故事中汲取灵感，为应对转变提供新的视角。
“如果没有经历各种转变，你就不会活到我这个年纪。有些转变是你欣然接受的，有些是你从未预料到的。有些是你希望的，有些是你竭尽全力争取的。”
– 梅琳达·弗朗奇·盖茨
转变是我们走出熟悉的环境，进入新环境的时刻——对许多人来说，这个空间被困惑、恐惧和犹豫不决所笼罩。《第二天》陪伴读者穿越这段空间，指导他们如何充分利用结束和新开始之间的时间，以及如何在你脚下的大地发生变化时继续前进。
在这本书中，梅琳达将首次以印刷形式回顾自己人生中一些重要的转变，包括成为父母、一位亲密朋友的去世以及她离开盖茨基金会。她讲述的故事阐明了摆脱完美主义束缚、帮助朋友渡过危机、拥抱不确定性等普遍教训。
我们每个人，无论我们是谁，无论我们身处人生何处，都在走向自己的转变。梅琳达以她特有的温暖和优雅，坦诚地分享她需要智慧时的故事，并照亮了我们所有人面前广阔空间的道路。
In a rare window into some of her life’s pivotal moments, Melinda French Gates draws from previously untold stories to offer a new perspective on encountering transitions.
“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.
