Transitions

Making Sense of Life's Changes

By: William Bridges, Susan Bridges

Narrated by: George Psomas

The best-selling guide for coping with changes in life and work, named one of the 50 all-time best books in self-help and personal development
Whether you choose it or it is thrust upon you, change brings both opportunities and turmoil. Since Transitions was first published, this supportive guide has helped hundreds of thousands of readers cope with these issues by providing an elegantly simple yet profoundly insightful roadmap of the transition process. With the understanding born of both personal and professional experience, William Bridges takes readers step by step through the three stages of any transition: The Ending, The Neutral Zone, and, eventually, The New Beginning. Bridges explains how each stage can be understood and embraced, leading to meaningful and productive movement into a hopeful future. With a new introduction highlighting how the advice in the book continues to apply and is perhaps even more relevant today, and a new chapter devoted to change in the workplace, Transitions will remain the essential guide for coping with the one constant in life: change.

Beautiful book about a classical human life topic rarely articulated. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Entender las diferencias entre cambio y transición

Este libro es uno que se debe leer al menos 1 vez en la vida...sin duda te ayudará a entender mucho de tu vida y a tener una mejor hacia el futuro.

Great lesson for all to learn.

We all face transitions. This book brings out what is happening to all of us as navigate what can be very complicated and turbulent time in our life. It also provides insights in to what is actually happening and how to cope with these changes. Very insightful book. Ready to read it again.

A wonderful compendium on Transitions

“Transitions” is a well-written and thoughtful book about a subject that is quite difficult for some people to accept. The reason for the difficulty is that we as humans can become more than comfortable in our surroundings that when we are compelled to make a (usually and unexpected) change, we can be upset. Yet, this book can truly assist people who are making a change in their lives. I highly recommend reading and perhaps after a period of time re reading this very well written and informative book. I think that it can be especially helpful in these difficult and turbulent times in our lives.

A Hepful read.

I found this book to be insightful. It helped in trying to understand the space between. I never thought about transition having a middle.
