Today’s aspiring leaders are redefining achievement. They understand achievement as a process for individual empowerment—discovering who they are, where they want to go, and how they want to change themselves and the world around them. That world is more global, decentralized, dynamic, and diverse than ever before. Rather than just setting goals for achievement, today’s graduates are focusing on the process of achieving goals, resetting and pivoting to face new realities, and finding happiness in the journey.

Today’s young leaders (including, of course, our students and alumni) need a fresh approach for achieving success in their lives and careers. In Modern Achievement, JA Worldwide CEO Asheesh Advani and celebrated leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith offer 30 actionable lessons for personal and career success. Using vivid storytelling from the lives of Advani and Goldsmith, as well as established leaders and young achievers they have met, Modern Achievement empowers emerging leaders to claim their individual power to grow, achieve, and lead others.

Scheduled for release in the summer 2024, Modern Achievement’s net proceeds from book sales will be donated to JA. Retail price in the United States will be US$24.95; the price of international editions will be adjusted for local market conditions.

If you would like to order more than ten copies of the book, bulk discounts will be available, providing 10% to 20% reductions off the list price. You will be provided with a discount coupon code and can place the orders directly on modernachievement.com. (Shipping costs are displayed during the ordering process.) Please contact Asheesh if you plan to make a bulk order, specifying the number of books and where you need them sent.

Modern Achievement will be available for Kindle and other online readers. Bulk orders for the online book are also available. See instructions, above, and indicate that you’re interested in bulk ebook orders.

The book publisher is in the process of developing versions in specific languages (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish). If you would like to produce a copy of the book in your language or the language of your JA location, contact Asheesh to understand the timeline and process.

Please note that international editions of the book may also be customized with advice and other contributions from local board members and JA staff. Please specify in your email to Asheesh if you would like to add a new introductory chapter to the book tailored to your audience. (The authors will remain in control of the copyright and content.)
