Change is really the only constant in our lives. In a beautifully crafted blend of personal stories, humorous insights, and practical guidance, Elizabeth Lesser offers down-to-earth tools that can help us cope with inevitable change, grief, suffering, anxiety, and loss.
During times of transition, amid everyday stress, and even when facing seemingly insurmountable adversity, life offers a choice: to turn away from change or to embrace it; to shut down or to be broken open and transformed.
Recent times have been significant for all of us. As I slowly digested this book, one chapter at a time, as the pandemic months became years, I was stretched, challenged, comforted, and blessed. The perspective in this book was so helpful–I found it a book to savour, dog-ear, underline, and scribble in, so that I can re-read. There are not many books I return to, but this will be one of them. It will sit on my very small re-read shelf, alongside What’s So Amazing About Grace by Philip Yancey and Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
Lesser speaks often of soul and spirituality but I need to say that in this book she is careful not to recommend any particular spiritual path, but leaves it open. I respect her for that.

Added to my reading list right now.. any book that’s on par with Man’s Search for Meaning may need to be required reading.
