Speaker 1: Pushkin hay Slight Changers Maya here. I have been dying
Speaker 1: to share this news with you for quite some time,
Speaker 1: and so I'm very happy that today I finally can.
Speaker 1: I wrote a book. It's called The Other Side of Change.
Speaker 1: Who we become when life makes other plans. It's truly
Speaker 1: the thing I'm most proud to have created in my life,
Speaker 1: and it is available today for pre order. You can
Speaker 1: find it at Changewithmaya dot com, Forward slash Book, or
Speaker 1: at the link in our episode description. This book is
Speaker 1: all about how we can find meaning in the tumult
Speaker 1: of change. It's part narrative and part practical guy rooted
Speaker 1: in my expertise as a scientist who studies human behavior.
Speaker 1: For this project, I sought out a new set of
Speaker 1: people you've never heard from on the podcast who have
Speaker 1: absolutely remarkable stories of change. I interviewed them at length
Speaker 1: on repeated occasions over a period of several years. There
Speaker 1: are so many lessons they teach us through their stories,
Speaker 1: But at its core, the book challenges us to revisit
Speaker 1: our relationship with change altogether. What if we saw change
Speaker 1: not just as something to endure, but as an opportunity
Speaker 1: to reimagine who we are, what new potential could we unlock.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the toughest moments in life help us find out
Speaker 1: who we really are and who we can become. So
Speaker 1: if you're listening and are like yes, Maya, the Other
Speaker 1: Side of Change is the book for me, I would
Speaker 1: really appreciate it if you could pre order it today.
Speaker 1: It hits shelves in January, and pre orders are actually
Speaker 1: super important. They help get the word out about a book,
Speaker 1: and they energize bookstores and just build much needed buzz. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's my news. I wanted to end just by
Speaker 1: sharing a quick thank you to everyone in the Slight
Speaker 1: Change community who have been listeners of this show. I've
Speaker 1: appreciated your brilliant and thoughtful and compassionate reflections on change
Speaker 1: over the years on those late nights when I was
Speaker 1: really struggling with writing and kind of wanted to bang
Speaker 1: my head against the wall. You are a huge source
Speaker 1: of inspiration and I would often reflect back on all
Speaker 1: that you had shared with me over the years. So
Speaker 1: I've written this book for all of you, and I
Speaker 1: really hope you'll find it helpful no matter what kind
Speaker 1: of change you're facing. All right, stay tuned for more updates,
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned, the link for pre order is
Speaker 1: available in our episode description, and so is a link
Speaker 1: to a People magazine feature that just came out today
Speaker 1: announcing the news. We'll be back in a week with
Speaker 1: a new episode of A slight Change of Plans. See
Speaker 1: you then,
