No matter how difficult it might seem, change is always positive.
Life Matters: Stories of Transition, Healing, and Hope, by
psychiatrist and interfaith minister Abigail Brenner tackles the
transitions in our lives and shows how they can empower us. Brenner
moves through all cycles of life, letting the people going through
these transitions tell their own stories. A young parent adjusts to
life with a newborn. A young adult, ready to move out and make a
new life, finds her own voice. From the stress of moving from a
familiar place to an unfamiliar one, to finding the job that feeds
your soul as well as your wallet, Life Matters shows you how you
can get through these changes and come out on the other side a
better person. Learn to chart your feelings, advises Brenner.
Assert yourself and get the support you need. For true healing to
occur, she states, you must become an active participant and
advocate of your own wellness. The key lies in the pursuit of
balance within the self: taking care of your body, having an
optimistic attitude about yourself and life, and connecting to a
source of spiritual belief. A physical crisis has the enormous
potential of becoming a healing moment. " Do not shy away from your
own light," says Brenner. Life is all about change and this warm
and inspirational book can help you make the most of all your
transitions.
From the foreword by Bernie Siegel, MD: "When something happens
to alter our life or we learn something new, we have to begin a new
life if we are to survive...It is not an accident that the
universal therapeutic theme is for all of us to be born again and
the changes and transitions of life become the labor pains of
self-birth and worth the experience, since they create a new you."

'I'm all for progress; it's change I don't like.' In Life Matters:

how embracing life's passages can lead to transformation and
fulfillment, and how we can summon the courage to live life more
fully." Larry Dossey, MD Author: Healing Words and The Power of

and engaged in all areas of life. The transitions are the tough
spots. Keep this book handy for them." Thomas Moore Author: Care of
