Bruce Fieler – Life is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age

Emotional Balance Sheet with Paul Fenner

How many life transitions have you been through? What did you learn about yourself going through them?

Bruce Fieler is the author of seven New York Times bestsellers and an avid collector and analyzer of life stories.

Years ago, Bruce began a journey when he embarked on a project to document the experiences of Americans from all walks of life. Little did he know that this venture would lead him to delve into the realm of transitions, a concept that seemed foreign to him initially.

Bruce introduces the term "lifequakes" from his countless conversations to describe massive disruptions lasting up to five years. It's astounding to learn that the average person goes through three to five lifequakes, spending nearly half of their life in transition.

Bruce and I discover how these "lifequakes" intertwine and impact our financial lives throughout the three stages of transitions: the long goodbye, the messy middle, and the new beginning.

From my discussion with Bruce, I hope it helps you find a better way to understand how life transitions can help us grow and uniquely shape our lives by identifying our purpose and aligning our actions with our values.

Please enjoy my conversation with Bruce Feiler.
