LIFE IS IN THE TRANSITIONS - BRUCE FEILER KARTO...

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets of Happy Families and Council of Dads
a pioneering study of the disruptions upending contemporary life and a bold guide for how to
navigate life's growing number of transitions with more meaning  balance  and joy. Bruce Feiler
has long been writing about the stories that give our lives meaning. Recently he began to
notice a new pattern: Many of us feel overwhelmed by the unprecedented pace of change we're
experiencing. We know that our old stories  with their predictable plot points along linear
paths  no longer hold true. The idea that we'll have one job  one relationship  one source of
happiness is hopelessly outdated. Yet we're unnerved by all this upheaval. We're concerned that
our lives are not what we expected  that we're veering off course  living life out of order.
Galvanized by a personal crisis and family emergency  Feiler set out on what became an epic
journey. He crisscrossed the country  collecting hundreds of life stories from Americans of all
ages  all walks of life  and in all fifty states. He then spent a year coding these stories 
identifying patterns and takeaways for how we live now and how can live better. But we're not
alone. Life Is in the Transitions introduces a fresh  illuminating vision of the nonlinear life
in which each of us faces dozens of disruptors. Drawing on his extraordinary trove of insights
Feiler unveils a powerful new transition toolkit with proven strategies for coping with these
pivotal  painful  unsettling times. From a master storyteller with a timely message  Life Is in
the Transitions can move readers of any age to think deeply about times of personal change and
how to transform them into periods of creativity and growth.
