Summary of William Bridges's Transitions

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The nine cities of Troy were built on the ruins of their predecessors, and Pompeii was buried by a volcanic eruption. In America, the archaeology of fast-moving men on a nearly empty continent was spread plain and thin on the surface. #2 The American experience of being in transition is changing. The pace of change has greatly increased in the past century, and many Americans have lost faith that the transitions they are going through are getting them anywhere. #3 Transitions is not just a manual on how to cope with change; it is based on a theory of personal development that views transition as the natural process of disorientation and reorientation marking the turning points in the path of growth. #4 The pace of change today is much faster than it was in the past.
This is causing pain and turbulence for many people, and they are not sure how to deal with it.
