Publisher's Synopsis
This is a book about personal change and ordinary change: birth, death, illness, marriage, divorce, unemployment, moves, job shifts, graduation and promotion. It focuses especially on the short, sharp changes and emphasizes two points: how we can cope with change comfortably and productively, and how we can welcome change as an energizer and as a defence against boredom. Some subjects covered are: viewing change as a friendly event, changing negative thoughts, methods for managing stress, and choosing and prioritizing activities.
