Description
Difficult periods in life can be viewed in various ways. The author of this book does not see them as obstacles, but as 'thresholds.' She compares life to residing in a house with many rooms, which we can only enter after overcoming and processing the respective threshold, i.e., a life crossroads. The seven chapters, written with typical kind humor and perspective, deal with how to navigate important life milestones and transitional situations, both positive and negative, whether it is the birth of a child, marriage, the death of a loved one, or job loss. Topics for reflection include the fear associated with such changes, the fatefulness of life twists, the importance of instinct, the limitations of perfectionism, the need for distance and perspective, and the necessity to accept change rather than deny it. Similar to the title People Plan, God Laughs, we are delighted by stories from the New York Jewish community, seemingly simple reflections that surprise with their depth and references to the latest psychological research. Sherre Hirsch is an American rabbi, writer, and spiritual coach. Her book People Plan, God Laughs was published by Portál.
