Navigating Your Way Through Difficult Times
Moving far from home? Expecting a new baby?
Adjusting to new in-laws or stepchildren?
Starting a new job? Facing retirement?
Going back to school?

When you face life’s tough transitions, you need someone to light the road—and the pitfalls—ahead. This extraordinary book does just that…and shows you how to make your journey one of growth, wisdom, and happiness. From the author of Seven Choices comes a comforting book offering insight, information and inspiration for anyone experiencing a major life change, from job promotions to empty nesting to retirement to the loss of a loved one.

Life is constantly handing us opportunities, challenges, and changes—a new baby, retirement, a new job, new step-children or in-laws, a move to a new community. In her highly acclaimed previous work, Seven Choices, Dr. Neeld helped thousands deal with mourning and loss. Now, with TOUGH TRANSITIONS, she teaches us how to adapt more easily to change of all kinds...and offers a new path that leads to happiness and growth.

Using a life-map created exclusively for this book that, at a glance, shows the unfamiliar territory ahead, she guides us through the four R’s, the distinctions of every transition: responding, reviewing, reorganizing, and renewing. Then, blending the latest scientific research, real-llife stories, and the wisdom of many traditions, she reveals what experiences you’re likely to encounter and what crucial actions you can take to move forward.

For each of the four distinctions of the transition process, Elizabeth Neeld offers a thoughtful blend of scientific research, learned teachings, and personal anecdotes to help readers navigate the difficult challenges we all face. The areas of tough transition are all-encompassing, covering any kind of change that requires individuals to create new structure for their lives: from retirement, to moving, to blending families, to surviving health problems, to dealing with financial setbacks, to infertility, to divorce. Dr. Neeld has discovered that no matter what the transition is, there are certain coping mechanisms that help move through the chaos of change and reach creative and victorious outcomes.

Discover:

What issues you’re likely to face with different kinds of change
How your body, mind, and emotions are affected by transition
New thinking and new behaviors that can transform your life
The difference between surviving and thriving—and the secrets that will make you a thriver.
Facing the unknown can be confusing.
