We’re diagnosed with a life-changing illness, end a long-term relationship, unexpectedly get laid off, or face an event that utterly upends life as we know it (COVID-19, anyone?). These turning points can be terrifying. Yet, we all encounter them in our lives. The real question is: how will we face them? The so-what: Despite our knee-jerk reaction to hang on to what’s “normal,” disruptive moments are exactly what’s needed to transform ourselves and the world around us, urges recognized leadership and personal development expert RADHA RUPARELL. And she should know it. In Brave Now: Rise Through Struggle and Unlock Your Greatest Self (March 19, 2021), Ruparell shares the battle of her lifetime—a brush with death from a deadly virus we know all too well—and how she pulled from two decades of professional experience to overcome its challenges. She is standing by to share: What science reveals about our brain’s response to adversity and uncertainty Simple micro-practices that will give you immediate freedom and power, regardless of the circumstances you face How to use curiosity to reframe setbacks in your personal or work life Easy ways to stop negative self-talk and turn “bad days” into minor “off moments” How to be present, build authentic relationships, and ultimately transform the quality of your life SAMPLE QUESTIONS: 1.
