WEBVTT - Maya’s Exciting Announcement!

0:00:14.956 --> 0:00:32.156
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin hay Slight Changers Maya here. I have been dying

0:00:32.276 --> 0:00:34.556
<v Speaker 1>to share this news with you for quite some time,

0:00:34.716 --> 0:00:38.076
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm very happy that today I finally can.

0:00:38.876 --> 0:00:43.596
<v Speaker 1>I wrote a book. It's called The Other Side of Change.

0:00:43.996 --> 0:00:47.836
<v Speaker 1>Who we become when life makes other plans. It's truly

0:00:47.916 --> 0:00:51.356
<v Speaker 1>the thing I'm most proud to have created in my life,

0:00:51.596 --> 0:00:54.996
<v Speaker 1>and it is available today for pre order. You can

0:00:55.036 --> 0:00:59.196
<v Speaker 1>find it at Changewithmaya dot com, Forward slash Book, or

0:00:59.236 --> 0:01:02.916
<v Speaker 1>at the link in our episode description. This book is

0:01:02.956 --> 0:01:05.676
<v Speaker 1>all about how we can find meaning in the tumult

0:01:05.756 --> 0:01:10.036
<v Speaker 1>of change. It's part narrative and part practical guy rooted

0:01:10.076 --> 0:01:13.396
<v Speaker 1>in my expertise as a scientist who studies human behavior.

0:01:13.916 --> 0:01:16.476
<v Speaker 1>For this project, I sought out a new set of

0:01:16.476 --> 0:01:19.356
<v Speaker 1>people you've never heard from on the podcast who have

0:01:19.596 --> 0:01:24.436
<v Speaker 1>absolutely remarkable stories of change. I interviewed them at length

0:01:24.596 --> 0:01:28.596
<v Speaker 1>on repeated occasions over a period of several years. There

0:01:28.596 --> 0:01:31.396
<v Speaker 1>are so many lessons they teach us through their stories,

0:01:31.636 --> 0:01:35.196
<v Speaker 1>But at its core, the book challenges us to revisit

0:01:35.236 --> 0:01:39.436
<v Speaker 1>our relationship with change altogether. What if we saw change

0:01:39.476 --> 0:01:42.996
<v Speaker 1>not just as something to endure, but as an opportunity

0:01:43.076 --> 0:01:47.076
<v Speaker 1>to reimagine who we are, what new potential could we unlock.

0:01:47.676 --> 0:01:51.156
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes the toughest moments in life help us find out

0:01:51.396 --> 0:01:54.156
<v Speaker 1>who we really are and who we can become. So

0:01:54.236 --> 0:01:56.996
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening and are like yes, Maya, the Other

0:01:57.036 --> 0:02:00.076
<v Speaker 1>Side of Change is the book for me, I would

0:02:00.356 --> 0:02:02.996
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate it if you could pre order it today.

0:02:03.676 --> 0:02:07.556
<v Speaker 1>It hits shelves in January, and pre orders are actually

0:02:07.916 --> 0:02:11.116
<v Speaker 1>super important. They help get the word out about a book,

0:02:11.396 --> 0:02:16.436
<v Speaker 1>and they energize bookstores and just build much needed buzz. Okay,

0:02:16.556 --> 0:02:19.276
<v Speaker 1>so that's my news. I wanted to end just by

0:02:19.436 --> 0:02:22.276
<v Speaker 1>sharing a quick thank you to everyone in the Slight

0:02:22.356 --> 0:02:25.636
<v Speaker 1>Change community who have been listeners of this show. I've

0:02:25.676 --> 0:02:30.156
<v Speaker 1>appreciated your brilliant and thoughtful and compassionate reflections on change

0:02:30.236 --> 0:02:32.516
<v Speaker 1>over the years on those late nights when I was

0:02:32.596 --> 0:02:35.236
<v Speaker 1>really struggling with writing and kind of wanted to bang

0:02:35.236 --> 0:02:38.156
<v Speaker 1>my head against the wall. You are a huge source

0:02:38.156 --> 0:02:41.876
<v Speaker 1>of inspiration and I would often reflect back on all

0:02:41.876 --> 0:02:43.756
<v Speaker 1>that you had shared with me over the years. So

0:02:44.516 --> 0:02:46.396
<v Speaker 1>I've written this book for all of you, and I

0:02:46.476 --> 0:02:48.676
<v Speaker 1>really hope you'll find it helpful no matter what kind

0:02:48.716 --> 0:02:52.436
<v Speaker 1>of change you're facing. All right, stay tuned for more updates,

0:02:52.516 --> 0:02:54.636
<v Speaker 1>and as I mentioned, the link for pre order is

0:02:54.676 --> 0:02:57.676
<v Speaker 1>available in our episode description, and so is a link
