Life Is in the Transitions

In this book, Bruce Feiler explores how to transform life's turbulent moments into periods of creativity and growth.

Galvanized by a personal crisis, Feiler spent years collecting hundreds of life stories from Americans across all 50 states who had undergone major life changes.

He identifies patterns and strategies to help readers survive and thrive during times of change.

The book introduces the concept of the nonlinear life, where each person faces numerous disruptors, and provides a toolkit for navigating these transitions, which Feiler terms 'lifequakes.

' The average length of these transitions is five years, and Feiler argues that mastering the skills to manage them is increasingly urgent in today's unpredictable world.
