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. An unexpected diagnosis. A breakup. A redundancy. When life throws a curveball, this book helps you overcome. After an incident in her own life left her reeling, pioneering cognitive scientist Maya Shankar spent decades researching the mind. Her powerful book now invites us to rethink our relationship with change altogether. Sharing the riveting stories of others who have also gone through remarkable disruption, Maya unpicks scientific insights to illuminate the universal lessons hidden within them. Exploring our complex reactions to all kinds of change, from denial and guilt to rumination and stagnation, we're offered tools and strategies to unlock our full potential in the face of upheaval. We see how change isn't something to just endure. It doesn't have to leave us feeling stuck, hopeless or broken. Approached in the right way, it can lead us to uncover new abilities, perspectives and values, transforming us in extraordinary ways. Whether you're processing a past change, grappling with a present one, or bracing for a future one, discover who you can become on the other side of change.
