"THE BOOK WE ALL NEED" Mel Robbins, author of The Let Them Theory
An unexpected diagnosis.
A breakup.
A redundancy.
When life throws a curveball, it can feel like we’re free-falling into the unknown. But what if change was a chance to reimagine ourselves, rather than something to just endure?
Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, has spent decades researching people’s interior lives after an incident in her own life left her reeling. In this transformative book, she blends intimate, illuminating stories with the latest science of human behaviour, offering wisdom and practical strategies to help us better navigate these pivotal moments.
Through the extremes of human experience, we see how any kind of change is a rare opportunity to tap into new abilities, perspectives and values, and are shown the myriad ways we can learn to open ourselves up to it.
The hardest moments in our lives might allow us to more deeply discover who we are ... and who we can become.
