Book Overview
Change is an ever-present part of our personal and professional lives. It is not something to be tolerated, endured or adapted to. Rather, change is to be embraced, welcomed, and regarded as an opportunity to gain a new perspective. Like a plow that tills the soil, events and conditions (whether unexpected or planned) turn our lives inside out and upside down, and give us the chance to grow stronger. The Gifts of Change encourages readers to push beyond self-imposed boundaries, using the changes that come into their lives as a way to develop new abilities as well as find those that have lain dormant. The Gifts of Change will provoke thought, encourage reflection, and create an enhanced awareness in readers; and along the way it can ignite physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth. Writer, essayist and entrepreneur, "change master" Nancy Christie uses her own experiences with change as a basis for her writing and workshops. Her work has appeared in Woman's Day, Better Homes & Gardens, Tai Chi Magazine and other publications, frequently focusing on identifying opportunities for personal development in everyday life.

Great advice!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I'm reading this book for the third time. Christie not only mentions the problems we deal with during change but offers helpful advice on how to break free of old and tired routines to better ourselves. She's a wonderful writer, which makes it that much more enjoyable, but you feel like you are sitting across a table with her, sharing friendly times as well as stressful ones, just like an old friend. Stressed? Overwhelmed? Bored? Bad relationship? Try this book and see what a difference it can make in your life.

A Blessing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Nancy Christie's book "The Gift of Change" should be in the hands of every woman. It is an inspiration to all who have ever faced any challenges in their lives. The emotional and spiritual stories and passages are just as moving as the "hit you up side the head" moments. I know it was a blessing in my life the day I bought the book. I've read it twice now and will do so again. Each time I learn something new about myself, and that will help me to continue to grow as a woman. If you have significant changes in your life or just want to explore yourself as a woman, this is a must have.

If you're overworked or overwhelmed by what life throws your way, this book will help you get back on track. It's all about reconnecting with yourself and showing and reminding you of all the strenghts you have. Also, it's not some dry instruction manual, but more like a good friend talking to you. It has many practical tips and does provide lots of "yeah, I can do that!" moments!
