The Other Side of Change Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans

And so the fact that you've all come out here tonight to support her and hopefully get her book or you've already got it. How many of you have already got the book?

Well, this book that you wrote, The Other Side of Change, I find it such a fascinating topic and read because I feel like there's two types of change. One is the change that you choose. And the other is the change that chooses you.

Maya's book is packed with these incredible insights.

Well, Maya, I'm so happy that you took that brief hiatus and put together this amazing book, The Other Side of Change.

When you pick up this book today, you're not picking up just a book. You're picking up interviews, research, hundreds and thousands of hours of other people's stories, lived experience, ups and downs, challenges, breakthroughs, discomfort.

Today, Maya returns to Yap to share insights from her new book, The Other Side of Change.

Today, Maya returns to Yap to share insights from her new book, The Other Side of Change. She weaves science together with powerful personal stories, including her own experiences with loss, uncertainty, and reinvention, to show how unexpected change can reveal hidden strengths, reshape our values, and expand who we believe we can become.

I write about it in the final chapter of my book, The Other Side of Change, which is more memoir.

A big reason that I actually wrote The Other Side of Change was to give people that manual. I wanted to give them a companion, which was part stories that are so exceptional in their nature but are also universal in terms of the lesson they teach us, paired with science.

I was so excited to speak with you today because I remember how much I loved our previous episode. So if anybody wants to tune in to that first interview that I did with Maya, we're going to play it on Friday this week. But today, we're going to talk all about change and the science of change. And one of the things that really caught my attention when I was reading your book, I was just devouring your book, is this concept of identity paralysis.
