Change Happens: When to Try Harder and When to Stop Trying So Hard

by Avrum Geurin Weiss

Change Happens is at once an emotionally resonant and stimulating book that will touch a deep chord with readers who are seeking to understand the big and small struggles in their lives and an insightful companion for those struggling with a specific change or trying to bring about a change in their lives. Here, Avrum Weiss offers insights and lessons that are relevant to change across all life situations, including change in our personal lives, relationships, places of work, communities, and the larger world. He helps readers understand when trying harder is the best approach to change, and when not trying so hard is more appropriate. Each chapter introduces a key element in the process of change as well as fresh concepts for understanding how best to navigate the changes we all face at one time or another in our lives.

It was interesting. Although it seemed like it would have some specific suggestions, the inside out and outside in were never made quite concrete enough for me. If you're looking for theory, this is your cup of tea.
