In Deep Shift: Riding the Waves of Change to Find Peace, Fulfillment, and Freedom

For my second book, I have chosen to read In Deep Shift: Riding the Waves of Change to Find Peace, Fulfillment, and Freedom, by Valerie Gangas. I decided that this was probably a good book to read as I am graduating soon and am going to have to adapt to life changes very quickly. This book is ultimately a self-help guide that offers practical tools and strategies to help people navigate through major life changes. From what I can see, it seems as if the book is divided into three different parts. Part 1 focuses on what change is, what the process is like, and how to successfully navigate through it. Part 2 explains how to cultivate inner peace and fulfillment. And part 3 provides readers with tools and practices for embodying a state of freedom and happiness. 

 

Although I have not read much of the book so far, I am very happy with my choice. Because I am very bad with change, I desperately need to learn how to navigate through life changes with greater ease and clarity. I am eager to read about the importance of self-awareness, self-care, and self-compassion when going through the transformation process. These are not things I am very good at, especially when going through changes, but they are things I am looking forward to learning and reading about. One lesson I have learned so far is that traumatic experiences gift us with new ways of seeing, interacting with, and living in the world.
