Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age by Bruce Feiler
I stopped reading self help books long time ago. They rarely provide genuine practical advice. The reason I picked this book though is because the author is a cancer survivor. I have a tendency to believe people who went through a life turning disaster more easily.
Going through a life transition myself, I thought he might have something useful I could learn.
Nothing is novel about this book. It is plain common sense that life is hard and that change is the one permanent truth. People are adaptive, they move on, they found new ways to live. How can anyone doubt that in the midst of a pandemic?
I have 2389 followers on Twitter. I can ask them to tell me their life stories and I would analyze them and interpret them way better that Bruce Feiler did with his 225 people but I can NOT call that robust data. Reading this book to the last page was a test of my endurance and I think I gracefully passed!
