Amazon Book Review from Geo, 

As a 30-year professional in student and career development in K-12 and higher education, I am rarely motivated to leave a review on a personal development book. The word “Thrive”, in its intentional presence on the cover, caught my attention. In an era of culture wars and political ideology, author Jonathan L. Isaacson, attempts to define thrive through the lens of continuous growth of personal and professional development. He’s taken his own personal journey with poverty and turned it into an asset by utilizing personal stories to advance his narrative about the mindsets and habits needed to advance personally and professionally in today’s changing environment.

"P2T: Preparing 2 Thrive in the Modern Workplace" is a comprehensive guide that serves as a playbook for both young professionals entering the workforce and managers who are tasked with leading them. This book, designed as the first in a series of easy readers, is a valuable resource anchor that bridges the gap between academic preparation and the practical skills needed in today's rapidly evolving job market. Isaacson has designed this reader with accessible language, especially for English learners, and 2-3 page-long chapters. This is a win for neurodiverse learners.


From the perspective of a high school career counselor, this book is a valuable tool for guiding students towards success in their future careers. It provides a roadmap for students transitioning into the professional world, emphasizing the importance of creating mutually beneficial relationships between employers and employees.

As a college career advisor, I appreciate how the book addresses the gap between academic preparation and the practical skills needed in today's job market. It encourages students to view themselves as assets to potential employers, capable of contributing to an organization's success while also growing their careers.

For mentors working with students from lower-resourced families, this book is a powerful tool and curriculum model. It provides practical and empowering insights that can help level the playing field for young professionals who may not have had access to the same career preparation opportunities as their peers.

From an organizational development consultant's perspective, this book is a must-read for managers and supervisors. It provides practical and insightful guidance on managing and investing in young professionals, filling a gap that is often present in traditional management training and workforce development.

From an equity perspective, "P2T: Preparing 2 Thrive in the Modern Workplace" is a playbook for building a successful life that many people are not afforded. It emphasizes the importance of creating win-win situations for both employers and employees, a concept that is vital for fostering a positive and productive work environment. This book is a step towards leveling the playing field, providing valuable insights and practical guidance to those who may not have had access to traditional career preparation resources.
