Waves of Change

Stephano Sabetti challenges the essential notion that we all truly want to change. Despite the fact that conscious change affords many benefits, many of us are frightened by the thought of actually changing. Many of us are fearful of the excitement, the uncertainty, and most importantly the fact that in a world of change, there is no-thing to hold on to. Fully moving with change means we must surrender our illusory control over many of life's important processes - being loved, feeling happy, or being at peace. Sabetti encourages the reader, challenging the notion that there is such thing as no change. He shows that life itself would be impossible without a certain amount of change. We can only affect how change takes place and its pathway, not whether or not it happens. He introduces the concept of the change wave, which describes change as a dynamic process of energy gathering and distribution. This diagnostic tool can be used by individuals to understand where they are in the change process so that they may effectively move past boundaries or points of blockage to the resolution of perplexing issues. Many of us get stuck in an impasse loop where we repeat processes that remain unfinished or unwhole. Dr. Sabetti also provides some humorous anecdotes that characterize some of the change ploys we use to delude ourselves and rationalize our half-hearted attempts to change.
