Najwa Zebian - Böcker

A wise and tender guide to coming to terms with impermanence and recognizing that change is the force that allows you to become you-from the celebrated author of Welcome Home

"Change is hard-but Najwa shows you what's on the other side, and she's the one you want to lead you through it."-Melissa Urban, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Boundaries

"I've always known that change is hard, whether it's a change I choose, or one life chooses for me. I've also always known that change is one of life's only constants. Not just that, change is one of life's most beautiful truths. Change is what puts life in our lives. Change is the gateway to authentic transformation."  

Whether it's your job, your relationships, or just the way you move through the world, if you're like most people you have something in your life you'd like to change. And sometimes, unwanted change comes all too swiftly: a breakup, a death, an upheaval to the everyday reality you thought you could rely on. Dr. Zebian guides you through the changes we must make and those we must endure on the journey to our most authentic lives. She quiets the noise, teaches us to accept ourselves as we are now, and helps us focus on the necessity and beauty of those messy transitional times.

With timeless wisdom, Najwa shares her personal experiences with change (for example, rejecting her culture's definition of what constitutes a "good woman" so that she could live more honestly). She guides us through the changes we choose, like embarking on a new career or setting boundaries, changes we don't choose, like the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a job.

Ultimately, Dr. Zebian teaches that the purpose of change is to step into the world as your most authentic self. A highly practical guide to unfamiliar terrain, The Only Constant is here to assure us that uncertainty is natural. Yes, change is scary. You may want to hide from it by clinging to your past. But embracing change is the path to shedding old ideas of who you are and living your life as your true self.
