Resurface: A Guide to Navigating Life's Biggest Transitions (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780593833117)

A toolkit for navigating all of life's transitions, from a former Olympic diver

Life is nothing other than a series of transitions. Whether you're graduating from college and trying to decide what's next, coping with divorce, putting the pieces back together after a death or a diagnosis, moving to a new city, or thinking about leaving one career path for another, these transitions--planned or unplanned--are an inevitable part of life.

But as inevitable as transitions are, they can still be intimidating. You're venturing from the familiar into the unfamiliar, and that journey is often murky and filled with moments of uncertainty, grief, and self-doubt.

No one knows this better than Cassidy Krug, who in 2012 was an Olympic diver with a shot at the bronze medal. A mistake on her last dive landed her in seventh place, and her lifelong athletic career came to an unremarkable end. After dedicating her life to a single passion and pursuit--diving--Cassidy had to figure out what to do next.

In Resurface, she connects with dozens of others who have experienced major life transitions, discovering fascinating common ground between a Buddhist monk and a queer sex therapist; a recent divorcee and a quadriplegic skydiver; a record-setting marathoner and a salon-owner navigating menopause.

Weaving together her own story with research and interviews with transitioners from all walks of life, Cassidy offers a blueprint for anyone who is going through or considering a major life change. In order to navigate change with grace, you must:

● Recognize the end
● Honor grief
● Embrace the murk
● Ask for help and seek community
● Connect your dots
● Leave your baggage
● Know when to fold 'em
● Redefine success
● Build your world
● Start over

No matter what transition you may be experiencing, Resurface will give you the tools to navigate the tough parts more easily, and the good parts more joyfully.
