Kickstart: How Successful Canadians Got Started

by Alexander Herman, Paul Matthews, Andrew Feindel

Dundurn | February 25, 2008 | Trade Paperback

In 2005, recent graduates Alex Herman, Paul Matthews, and Andrew Feindel realized they weren''t entirely sure where they were going in life. Then they had an idea. Over the next two years, they interviewed 70 well-known Canadians and asked them how they got started. The answers they found were not always what they expected.

Kickstart profiles over 30 prominent Canadians, including professional athletes (former CFL star Norman Kwong), TV personalities (Valerie Pringle), Native leaders (Matthew Coon Come), and former prime ministers (Brian Mulroney). Their collective wisdom, offered in their own words, just might help readers "kickstart" their own lives and careers.

Even though I picked Kickstart up as a career guide, I ended up treating it a lot more like a life guide. The poeple in the book talk a lot about exactly how they got started in their careers, but a lot of the most interesting stuff has to do with how they made the big decisions about what was important and of value. I've been bringing the things the people in the book said to my own life. It's quite nice to see a book with Success in the title, but having it not all about 'how to get rich' but more 'how can I leave a mark on society'.
