Google's Senior Director of Behavioural Economics shows how the big changes we experience change us, and how we can best adapt to them to thrive.

\"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 upheaval was a chance to reimagine ourselves, rather than something to just endure?

Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, has spent decades researching the mind after an incident in her own life left her reeling. In this book, she shares the riveting stories of others who have gone through remarkable change, and weaves in scientific insights to illuminate universal lessons hidden within them.

We see how the unique stresses and demands of being thrust into a new reality can lead us to uncover new abilities, perspectives and values, transforming us in extraordinary ways. Exploring our complex reactions to change, we're invited to rethink our relationship with it altogether, and offered a deep well of wisdom we can draw from during these experiences.

Whether you're processing a past change, grappling with a present one, or bracing for a future one, this will help you discover who you can become on the other side of change.
