Book excerpt: Perhaps you are in a career change, new marriage, or relocation. Maybe you are in the midst of a more difficult life transition such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or job loss. With any significant life change - good or bad - you may find yourself stuck between your familiar, "normal" old world and the unknown, perhaps even frightening new world that awaits. Welcome to the Gap. In the beginning, the Gap is a place where uncertainty, isolation, fear, and self-doubt can stifle, even paralyze, your progress through a transition. Yet in the pages of this life-enhancing book, you'll learn how to transform any transition into an opportunity for enlightenment, self-empowerment, insight, and even inner peace.
