“If you're struggling and think that one more book can't possibly make a difference, think again. M.J. Ryan has the rare gift of breaking things down into clear pieces that can be tackled.”
—Laura Berman Fortgang, author of Now What?: 90 Days to a New Life Direction
“You are always more resilient than you think. In her motivational and optimistic book, M.J. Ryan shows you how to face the unexpected and use what you've learned to be happier in life, in love, and at work.”
—Nell Merlino, leader of Make Mine a Million $ Business and author of Stepping Out of Line
“The change you didn't ask for has a way of smacking you between the eyes. M.J. Ryan's book teaches us how we can get through the pain more quickly and extract greater meaning from the nonnegotiable events of life.”
—Ellyn Spragins, author of What I Know Now: Letters to My Younger Self
“How to Survive Change...You Didn't Ask For is not only M.J. Ryan's best book, but the most accessible and practical book yet on the subject of change to date. It contains a compendium of best practices from cross-sector disciplines and research regarding transition and change in our lives. Nowhere will you find a more inspirational, realistic, comforting and accessible book that reduces fear and reopens possibility, curiosity, and creative solutions unimagined during the most challenging of times!”
—Angeles Arrien, Ph.D., cultural anthropologist and author of The Second Half of Life and Living in Gratitude
