The Only Constant: A Guide to Embracing Change and Leading an Authentic Life

Change is always present even when it might not be welcome. Author (Welcome Home), educator, and podcaster (In the Clear) Zebian recognizes why change may cause struggles as it is often “messy” or difficult. She aims to help readers accept and embrace change, identifying various types: those one choses, those situations one cannot control, and necessary change. She discusses the challenges found when facing change and the many factors that can impede needed change such as the fear of uncertainty or a lack of self-awareness. Zebian provides personal anecdotes as well as examples from films and television shows in presenting change’s complexities. She also cites other experts who might assist readers needing ancillary guidance. When making a change Zebian suggests paying attention to one’s physical reactions, as the human body often attempts to avoid pain associated with changing. She also recommends decluttering both one’s mind and one’s physical spaces to support needed change.
