Embracing Change: How to build resilience and make change work for you
INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

This year has demonstrated how quickly our lives can change completely without warning. But every day we face change - whether it's small changes such as an unscheduled meeting or plans going awry, to bigger changes such as a change of job or coping with the loss of a loved one. Our lives are constantly moving and we, in turn, must move with them. In his latest book, bestselling author Dr Harry Barry shows us how to not only cope with change but learn in the process, and therefore grow and develop as a human being.

Dr Barry, with the benefit of over thirty-five-years-experience as a family doctor assisting people in crisis, shares the practical tools and techniques required to manage change effectively and live your life to the fullest. Revealing how to become the ultimate pragmatist - accepting that there is no such thing as the perfect solution, just the best solution one can find at that moment in time.

Embracing Change is a practical, compassionate companion for anyone looking to boost their resilience, adapt to life's challenges, and by smoothly navigating through them, reach calmer waters.
