Sheryl Sandberg’s book “Lean In,” which was first released this past March and which advises women on how to succeed in the workplace, quickly became a bestseller and sparked a nationwide conversation.

Now Sandberg is planning to release a new edition of the book this April which will be aimed at college graduates and will include six new chapters as well as a letter from the author. Subjects will include how to succeed in a job interview, advice on a first salary, and “how millennial men can lean in,” according to USA Today. The new edition will be titled “Lean In For Graduates.”

Sandberg told USA Today she didn't expect the book would have such an effect on people.

“I never imagined in a billion years [it] would spark this amount of conversation," she said. "This is changing people's lives.”

“Lean” ranked at number 11 on the New York Times combined print and e-book nonfiction list for the week of Jan. 19.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
