The Blurb:
This Too Shall Pass is full of tales of family relationships, love, work, health and identity to help equip us for the changes that might happen in our lives. I am really looking forward to reading it as soon as I get the chance.
If change is the natural order of things, why do so many
people struggle with the milestones of life - from first jobs and first loves
to children leaving home and retirement?
We live in a culture of limitless choice - and life is now
more complex than ever. In This Too Shall Pass, acclaimed psychotherapist Julia
Samuel draws on hours of conversations with her patients to show how we can
learn to adapt and thrive during our most difficult and transformative
experiences. Illuminated by the latest social and psychological research, this
book unflinchingly deals with the hard times in family, love, work, health and
identity.
From a woman deciding whether to leave her husband for a younger
lover, to a father handling a serious medical diagnosis. And from a new mother
struggling with the decision to return to work, to a young man dealing with the
aftermath of coming out, and a woman starting over after losing her job.
These powerful, unforgettable and deeply intimate stories
about everyday people will inform our understanding of our own unique response
to change and enlighten the way we approach challenges at every stage of life.
This Too Shall Pass will be published by Penguin Life on 5th March 2020 and is available to pre-order now from the usual retailers. Why not visit your local independent bookshop?
