Synopsis

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and beloved former Today co-host Hoda Kotb comes her most personal, ambitious book yet—a guide to dealing with change and upheaval, even (and perhaps especially) when it’s unexpected.

Hoda Kotb didn’t expect to join the Today show at age forty-four. Or to become a mother at fifty-two. Or to leave Today and embark on a new adventure at sixty! Change doesn’t always arrive when we expect it, and its effects are anything but predictable. But Hoda believes that the benefits of change can be extraordinary...if we’re willing to listen to and learn from them.

In the tradition of books like Savannah Guthrie’s Mostly What God Does and Maria Shriver’s I’ve Been Thinking comes Hoda Kotb’s Jump and Find Joy—an intimate book that reveals for the first time what Hoda discovered as she started embracing change in every aspect of her life. In her quest to better understand change and how to work with (not against) it, Hoda relies on her reporting instincts to investigate HOW change works, WHO is approaching it with grace, and WHAT she can apply to her own life and share with others. Jump and Find Joy combines the wisdom of change experts, insights from the latest work on resilience, and deeply personal stories from celebrities and inspirational people in our own communities. From small shifts in daily routines to major leaps of faith, Hoda shows why change isn’t to be feared but celebrated...and how each of us can thrive in the midst of changes we’ll inevitably face ourselves.

"I haven’t always been comfortable with the idea of change. I tend to find comfort in consistency. But, as I get older I can look back and see how every pivot, every curveball, every shift—expected or not—is where I grew the most. In this inspiring book, Hoda shows us how to look at moments of change as opportunities to become more of who we’re meant to be—and to embrace it all with a deep sense of joy and hope. This is a book for anyone who is ready to embrace the unknown and make a leap of faith toward something new!" —Joanna Gaines

“This latest breezy, thoroughly enjoyable offering . . . [goes] down nice and easy, just like talk-show segments, pleasantly reminiscent of her familiar, comfortable on-air persona. She comes across as thoughtful, down-to-earth, humorous, self-deprecating, grateful, and as always, supremely relatable. This book is sure to please all sectors of her audience.”—Booklist (starred review)

“The author’s charismatic voice will keep readers hooked, and her solid advice is bolstered by candid personal disclosures as well as brief commentary from celebrities, actors, and media figures—among them Bette Midler and Thomas Rhett—who’ve made life changes of their own. This inspires.” —Publishers Weekly
