Product Description

Synopsis
The author of the best-selling Transitions turns inward, revealing how personal tragedy can yield growth and rejuvenation. William Bridges' lifelong work has been devoted to a deep understanding of transitions and to helping others through them. When his own wife of thirty-five years died of cancer, however, he was thrown head-first into the kind of painful and confusing abyss he had known before only in theory. An honest account of being in transition, this uncommonly wise and moving book is a richly textured map of the personal, professional, and emotional transformations that grow out of tragedy and crisis. Demonstrating how disillusionment, sorrow, or confusion can blossom into a time of incredible creativity and contentment, Bridges highlights the profound significance and value of endings in our lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unexpectedly very insightful book. , 24 Aug 2007
By C. Odigie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is greatly helpful for any transitional situation in life, personal and/or professional. Its approach is philosophical but especially, very process and stages-oriented.

The author has managed to depict brilliantly the complex and sequential transformations we go through when we are in a "changing" mode (e.g. like the stage when we are unable to "define", to others and to ourselves, who we are and what we are doing).

Thanks to this book, understanding how transitions unfold, and what's behind the turmoils that might appear is made easier.

Bridges talks clearly about a topic (change) -and its circumstances- that is normally very difficult to pin down.

He doesn't guide you into how to change your life; he simply walks with you through such difficult times, offering words of solace and wisdom. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
