We have to let you go.\" Hearing these words from my dear friend of more than 25 years over the phone on a sunny Friday afternoon left me shaking. It was a first for me - being at this end of a layoff. And it was a gut punch. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing on the receiving end of a layoff, Geri Reid Suster pondered her next steps and had an epiphany - life is full of exits. From school, from jobs, from relationships, and ultimately from life itself. And those transitions can be rocky or they can be handled with grace, honor, and humor. Still, most people struggle with such endings, getting mired down in thoughts of failure, grief, frustration, regret, and anger. Here, Suster shows readers how they can do better, be better, and live better through all of life's goodbyes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExits are going to happen whether we like it or not, so why not get good at them? How much time did you spend learning to walk, ride a bike, drive a car, and\/or interview for a job? Why not spend a little time learning to approach exits with greater skill? An ugly exit not only leaves scars on everyone involved, but also adds to the psychological burden one carries long after the exit. On the other hand, a graceful exit is hard in the moment, but sets us up to feel lighter and healthier on the other side. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect and full of advice and suggestions for next steps forward, Suster guides readers through the ups and downs of goodbyes, and carefully reveals the best methods for a smoother, more graceful transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geri Reid Suster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538169304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538169308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022 pg. 72","brand":"Geri Reid Suster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44173222674687,"sku":"9781538169308","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ad80553-3c21-4ef7-acd2-21267cf88547.jpg?v=1689791663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/graceful-exits-geri-reid-suster-9781538169308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
