520 |a In this nonfiction work, cognitive scientist Maya Shankar examines how individuals respond to major, unexpected life changes. Drawing on interviews with people who have experienced significant personal disruptions, Shankar combines narrative case studies with insights from psychology and cognitive science to explore how change affects identity, decision-making, and emotional resilience. The book analyzes common patterns in human responses to upheaval and considers how periods of instability can lead to personal growth, new perspectives, and shifts in values. Through research-based discussion and real-life examples, the work invites readers to reconsider their understanding of change and its potential role in shaping personal development.
