CHANGING DIRECTIONS WITHOUT LOSING YOUR WAY Managing the Six Stages of Change at Work and in Life

In a narrative that relies heavily on case histories, the authors describe all the constructive and not so constructive ways that people react to big changes at home or work. You can manage the unexpected if you know the six stages of change and handle each one with a firm grip on reality. You also need courage to understand yourself fully. The two authors alternate the reading and are pleasantly hopeful as they spell out their strategies for charting a new personal course. They're especially good at describing emotional blocks and how to get past them when starting a new direction. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
