Good Reads: AdaptAbility by M.J. Ryan

One of my favorite authors just released a new book – and it’s a great one! I was first drawn to M.J. Ryan‘s work when she wrote an article, I Can Stay Calm, for Good Housekeeping Magazine. After writing about said article on my old blog (victoria-e.com), M.J. was nice enough to stop by the site and say hi – what a lady!

A few months later, she dropped me a line, complimenting my site (*swoon*) and offering to send me a copy of her latest tome, AdaptAbility. Of course, I said yes!

After reading the first 10 pages, I knew AdaptAbility isn’t your run-of-the-mill self-help book. This is about strength. This is about power. This is about being prepared for any & all changes and, dare I say, welcoming them!

The most surprising thing about this book is the tone it is written in. It felt like M.J. was right there with me while I was reading it. The book is presented in a such a friendly, conversational tone that no matter what speed bumps or road blocks have come into your life, you’ll know you are not alone in facing these ongoing changes.

While I consider myself to be quite comfortable with change (I’ve moved almost 20 times in my 24 years on this planet), its the sudden surprises of life that throw most of us – myself included – for a loop. Personal or professional, M.J. Ryan’s AdaptAbility book can transform anyone into a Change Master, as she calls them. I’m already going through each step to help reestablish my business with my new name & focus; I’ve never felt so empowered!
