Life Is Long

If you’re telling yourself this book isn’t for you because you’re locked into circumstances you can’t change, because you didn’t get your life off to a great start, because it’s already too late, or because too many people are depending on you…

I wrote this book for you.

I wrote it for anyone who feels stuck—who wants to break out and try something different but who keeps not doing it. Maybe they think their circumstances are locking them in, maybe they’re just scared, or maybe they think they could summon the courage and get into motion if they just knew where they wanted to go.

I wrote it for people who want something more—people who already have quite a lot but still feel restless and people who’ve never had much but aren’t willing to give up on the idea of having more. Finally, I wrote this book for women—not in an exclusionary, “No boys allowed” way, but because most of the books out there on the personal and career development shelves seem to assume a male reader. They make recommendations that any mother knows are out of reach...

If you need to get kids to the school bus with their breakfasts eaten, backpacks packed, and at least most of their clothes on, matched, and right-side out, devoting the first three hours of your day to a morning routine of meditation, exercise, deep work, juicing, and day-planning might be fantastic. But so would a million dollars and a magic wand.

In Life Is Long, Cherie Soyoung Pae Kloss challenges the notion that life is short and that we are bound by the career choices we make in our twenties. Contrary to popular belief, life isn''t short: it''s long. Too long to be stuck in a predictable, challenge-free rut. Too long to feel trapped by your own success. There''s no reason for the career choices you made in your twenties to dictate what you do ten, twenty, or thirty years later.

Kloss, a successful entrepreneur and former CEO who has reinvented herself multiple times across diverse industries, shares her insights and experiences to guide readers through the process of career reinvention. Drawing from her own journey as a social worker, teacher, anesthetist, TV producer, and tech entrepreneur, Kloss presents a practical and actionable manual for women who yearn for something more but don''t know where to begin.

Life Is Long is filled with optimism and encouragement, empowering readers to embrace change and explore new passions. Kloss breaks down the reinvention process into four phases: Discovery, Preparation, Education, and Achievement. She provides strategies for overcoming fears, building confidence, and navigating the challenges that come with career transitions.

Through personal anecdotes and wisdom gained from her unconventional path, Kloss demonstrates that life is big, interesting, and complex, with an infinite capacity for change. She invites readers to step out of their comfort zones, break free from routines, and embark on a journey of personal and professional growth.

Life Is Long is not just a book; it''s a guidebook for those ready to embrace the joys of developing new interests, following new passions, and renewing themselves. Kloss''s message is clear: you have the power to reinvent yourself and create a life that is fulfilling, exciting, and true to who you are, no matter your age or background.
