In The Restart Roadmap, Jason Tartick helped readers to redefine their life and make a fresh start in their career paths. He shared how he climbed the ladder of success in the financial corporation field and he would move whoever they wanted him to go where he could still get promotion and benefits. He begins the book by sharing his battle with anxiety and he literally felt his heartbeat speed up. He was in a meeting with his senior banker and junior banker with other top clients. He shared how this led to him feeling like he was in a career prison Monday thru Friday. He was following a script and in a rut. His only day of feeling completely free was on Saturday’s and he was free to be himself. Cause on Sunday’s he was battling anxiety of what was coming next. He was living his life in the 14.3% of every week and this equal to 11.3 years. This book’s goal is to assist readers in restarting their lives and getting their career’s back on track on how they want to live their lives. He explored 8 key strategies throughout the book. One of the things, he looked at was the topic of where you should live and exploring the issues, we tend to take into account the money factor.



In the book, he explained how made a spot on the Bachelorette and how he approached his banker’s higher ups with a letter stating how he wanted to take a leave and go on the show. They allowed him to use his time off and go on the show. He also opened up about how we must be very careful with our commitments and being overly loyal and how it can come back to bite us. He explained how if we are a W-2 employee we have no power and it's all up to our employer. He also was very honest with how he was fired from the banker’s field whenever his girlfriend, Kaitlyn made a comment about their sex life on her podcast. It had to be deleted by the network. In the end, his “almost ten years of banking, 7 relocation, and nine nearly perfect performance reviews meant nothing.” He was able to negotiate a fair exit plan.


I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is wanting a new start in their career. I immensely was shocked to read about how only 37% of people will ask for a raise. This is mind blowing to me. I really enjoyed the topic of negotiating and knowing what our worth is. I liked how he explored body language, the secrets of the hiring process, and how to stand out and get noticed. All of the topics were beneficial in learning about to restart your life and seeking a new career path if that’s what you are wanting. I’m not a huge fan of the Bachelorette or Bachelor in general so I didn’t know how I would like this book. But I felt the author was very knowledgeable in the field of business and he was trying to help readers to get a fresh start. This discussed some of the TV show but it was mainly focused on assisting readers in restarting their careers.



"I received this book free from the publisher, HarperCollins my honest review.”

I loved Jason Tartick on the Bachelorette. When he made the transition from banker to entrepreneur, I always wondered if it was because of the social media influencer phase that's become so popular - but it was interesting to actually find out that he was battling some severe "sunday scaries" and hated the corporate world, and then to hear how he got out of it. Sometimes I feel like I question my line of work - and I think whenever I'm ready to make the transition into something new, this book would be perfect to help me figure out where I need to be.

Ever read a book and then automatically want to make life changes? For myself, that is a "never" because I am stuck in my ways. What works for me works for me. BUT Jason Tartick changed that motto for me in his debut release "The Restart Roadmap."


"The Restart Roadmap" paints the picture of Tartick restarting his life after multiple panic attacks and life on reality television. He maps out in each chapter relevant, basic steps that anyone should take to make the life that they want to live. Evaluating yourself? Here's an uncomfortable checklist for you to consider. Changing your career? There's other people that have lived in/ been in your shoes.

Life is too short to live with just getting by or just going to work to get the paycheck and go home. I recommend Tartick's book to anyone looking for a change but is unsure on how to make it. This is the book for you, not just a self help read but a make yourself better read.

Came for Jason Tartick because, hi, it’s Jason Tartick. Stayed for the book itself. You know when you read a book written by a celeb you’ve heard speak a whole bunch of times and you can just picture their voice as you read (without listening to the audiobook)? That’s how I felt the whole time. Easy to digest content. Good resources. Nothing revelatory in terms of “oh wow, never thought of that” - BUT, I enjoyed it nonetheless!

I was so excited to read this book by Jason Tartick. He has turned around his life from a suit and tie guy to running his own business and writing his own book. It was so interesting to see his views and thoughts on things and how to restart!

Like many who will read this book, I know Jason Tartick from his time on The Bachelorette. He is absolutely one of my favorite people who has ever been on this reality franchise. I wanted to read this book due to that, but also because I have loved the videos I have seen from him regarding finance, business, and the stock market. He knows how to break it down for people like me, who don't live in that world but want to learn more.

This book was like that. There was so much valuable information, but I didn't feel like I was reading some boring business book filled with jargon. It was relatable, helpful to the everyday reader, and applicable to lots of areas in life. There were a lot of actionable and specific tips and tools. It wasn't just theoretical or fluff. He broke it down and related the ideas and tips to actual situations. The Restart Roadmap really gave me a lot to think about. I plan on buying it when it comes out to have it on hand to review specific sections as needed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. And thank you, Jason, for writing such an inspiring and helpful book!
