by Michael Feeley April 17, 2025

 

The Next Act – A Complete Guide to Career Change, Professional Reinvention, and Finding Work That Matters is for people not ready to retire, 50 – 60 – 70+ years old, who value their skills and life experience, which are the real gold to opening a vast number of career doors at any age.

Here are 4 impressive book reviews to have you see how others value – The Next Act – and to give unlimited, heart-exploding hope, inspiration, creativity, confidence, and a feeling of profound worth to sagers.

1. The system wants you to believe your shelf life has expired. It’s waiting for you to shrink, to become invisible, to quietly fade away. Michael Feeley is here to help you see that this isn’t true. Go, go, go.

Seth Godin, Author of This is Marketing

 

2. The Next Act is a bold, honest, and deeply inspiring guide for anyone facing an unexpected career transition.

Michael doesn’t sugarcoat the fears and uncertainties of reinvention—he meets them head-on, offering wisdom, resilience, and a path forward.

Through compelling personal stories and practical advice, he shows that career change isn’t about starting over—it’s about leveraging everything you’ve built to create a future that excites you.

If you’re wondering what’s next, this book is the script you need to take control and step into your next act with confidence.

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, the Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.

 

3. The good news and the bad news are the same news. We are living longer now. It’s good news if you have a job you love and friends, family, and a sweet dog by your side. It’s bad news if you are stuck in a job you no longer love (or never did), recognize that you’re in the fourth quarter of your life, and nothing calls to you. You are no longer a participant. You are a spectator trapped in a familiar cycle of unproductive thoughts with no idea where you’re going.

This is where Michael Feeley comes in with this fantastic, much-needed book, which will actually be helpful to anyone at any age.

The writing is gorgeous, the questions are provocative, and the result is clarity about what you want, why you want it, and how to get it, including how to create a job out of thin air.

This book has smarts plus heart. I loved it.

Susan Scott, author of Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life – One Conversation at a Time; Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst “Best” Practices in Business Today; and Fierce Love: Creating a Love That Lasts – One Conversation at a Time

 

4. The Next Act removes the complexity, confusion, and fear of looking for new work and building your next career as a mature person. Consider it the blueprint for success distilled into easy, achievable steps that get results. This book is refreshing and empowering. A must-read.
