"Change is inevitable. Will you let this reality destabilize or empower you? Brad Stulberg's immensely wise and timely book provides a powerful roadmap for a tumultuous world."

—Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work

"Fantastic, wide-ranging, and deeply profound, Brad Stulberg's new book is a reminder that the most important two-word summary of life is: everything changes. In a world of constant economic, technological, and political upheaval, it's more important than ever that we learn to face life with tragic optimism—to continuously rediscover meaning and strength despite life's inevitable challenges and suffering. Stulberg's book is an exceptional guide to this critical virtue. A must read."

—Derek Thompson, staff writer at The Atlantic, host of Plain English podcast, author of national bestseller Hit Makers

"Master of Change challenges our inherent resistance to change, providing carefully researched suggestions that will help you embrace and rise to meet it. Stulberg’s thoughtful book is a delight to read and will arm you with valuable wisdom for navigating life’s unexpected plot twists."

—Katy Milkman, New York Times bestselling author of How to Change

"Uncertainty and changeability are the reality for us all. This is a fascinating and inspiring field guide not merely to 'coping with' this reality, but plunging into it – even becoming one with it – so as to grow and flourish here and now."

—Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks

"According to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, you can’t step in the same river twice. Brad Stulberg makes you wonder why you’d want to. Change is inevitable, but if we learn to struggle with it, not against it, we become like rivers ourselves: fluid, flexible, yet ruggedly defined. This book speaks to the twists and eddies in our lives with uncommon warmth and wisdom."

—Kieran Setiya, author of Life Is Hard: How Philosophy Can Help Us Find Our Way

"In a world where constant flux is the only certainty, the ability to reframe and adapt to change — rather than resist or deny it — is essential to wellbeing. In Master of Change, Brad Stulberg wields his characteristically deft mix of science and philosophy to provide a blueprint for embracing the unexpected."

—David Epstein, author of Range
