Have you ever wanted a life do-over? In “My What If Year, Alisha Fernandez Miranda is about to turn forty and has summited the peak of personal and professional success; she has a Harvard education, a loving husband and children, and is CEO of an uber-successful company. But Alisha’s “good-on-paper-life” has a price—she’s overworked, exhausted, and wondering why having everything she’s ever wanted has her feeling like she’s missing something fundamental. Alisha puts her CEO life on hold and spends a year doing unpaid internships in the dream jobs of her youth—Broadway, the London art world, a fitness studio, and a Scottish luxury hotel. The result? An exuberant, hilarious, yes-you-can! book on second chances and reinventing your life before it’s too late.
