Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes by William Bridges
3.0
3/5 - Ala the kbook your dad gifts you for Christmas after being fired from your job.
I thought the main point of the three steps to transitions in self and life (The ending, neutral zone, and beginning) to be insightful. I actually found the discussions regarding relationships the most beneficial versus work. But for a book that is so short, it really felt like points could have been made in half the duration. It felt very redundant.
Also, he constantly discussed how old rituals were helpful for these stages in life and how we don't have them any more. But he also discussed how we can't benefit from these types of traditions anyways, so I found the contents return to discussion on this topic a bit tiring.
