Change is hard for everyone. Human nature always finds comfort in a routine. This book is helpful to understand how to celebrate changes instead of letting it challenge every day activities.

What changes are affecting our world now? How are people responding, and how can living with inevitable change become a healthier and more holistic process?

The author examines how we embrace changes or are repelled by them. What resistance is healthy and what type of acceptance moves us forward with the least amount of damage and maximum benefit? Macpherson introduces topics like emerging technology, extended lifespan, environmental, and vocational challenges.

Then he defines four kinds of changes, while acknowledge how change affects each of us emotionally, vocationally, and otherwise with a variety of models for response to change.

Theoretical and practical, this book is worth a read by those who study culture, business, psychology, and spiritual trends.

Good stuff. This has some very good ideas about change and how to change. It certainly won't change your life and solve all your problems, but it does provide some helpful tools. Good examples too. Recommended.

I really appreciate the ARC for review.

No-one embraces change simply because they are told to do so. We only change if we want to. Embracing change is the most important skill that any of us can achieve. Change is unavoidable, especially in these uncertain, covid times.

Author discusses two different types of big, tranformational change; Burning Platform change that is done to us, and so called Quantum Leap change that we bring about ourselves. How we react to both types of change is highly emotional and completely predictable.

The book is full of very useful tips and tools how to deal with change and above all give us the power to change. We are completely in control of how we choose to react to change.

I highly recommend it.
