Format: Paperback
The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation
'A blazingly smart, funny, thoughtful, and moving book about the hope - and the occasional limits - of human transformation' — Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
We live in an age obsessed with reinvention. But what does it really mean to change - and why do some transformations inspire us while others make us bristle?
New York Times journalist Benoit Denizet-Lewis's thought-provoking investigation takes us inside the lives of people who've changed themselves, or say they have: from political converts to a seemingly transformed murderer and a bully-turned-Buddhist. Through their stories and his own, he explores how identity, belief, and belonging shift despite the certainties we often cling to.
Drawing on insights from psychologists, neuroscientists and spiritual teachers, You've Changed shows how self-reinvention is more often self-discovery, and why personal change is like a team sport - revealing the compassionate truth at the heart of our deepest hopes and fears.
