Philanthropist and bestselling author of The Moment of Lift, Melinda French Gates offers you her wisdom and warmth for coping with change.

Life is full of transitions – some we choose and some we don’t. Change is often shadowed by confusion, fear and indecision but in this highly personal book Melinda offers guidance and reassurance through her own experiences. She illuminates how to make the most of the time between an ending and a new beginning, and how to move forward when the ground beneath you is unsteady.

Melinda’s stories – such as becoming a mother, divorce, loss, leaving the foundation she helped create - offer universal lessons about loosening the bonds of perfectionism, helping friends navigate times of crisis, embracing uncertainty in life, and more.

If you're facing a shift, The Next Day will comfort you in navigating that transition and empower you into the next day.
