Since Transitions was first published, this supportive guide has helped hundreds of thousands of readers cope with these issues by providing an elegantly simple yet profoundly insightful roadmap of the transition process. With the understanding born of both personal and professional experience, William Bridges takes readers step by step through the three stages of any transition: The Ending, The Neutral Zone, and, eventually, The New Beginning. Bridges explains how each stage can be understood and embraced, leading to meaningful and productive movement into a hopeful future. With a new introduction highlighting how the advice in the book continues to apply and is perhaps even more relevant today, and a new chapter devoted to change in the workplace, Transitions will remain the essential guide for coping with the one constant in life: change. Review: Fabulous - This is a great book, however, I must admit that when I first came across it I was wary "Oh no, another self-help book". But this is a thoughtful, well-grounded and well-written book with many fine insights. Clearly, William Bridges knows something about life, that is real life. So, the book is interspersed with practical examples of a range of people wrestling with change. And here is the rub. The issue is not change or changes, as they happen all the time, the real issue is the work of transition. Changes include everything from leaving home, changing jobs or ending a relationship. We cannot avoid them. In fact, they often threaten to swamp us. The key issue is what is happening inside of us. This is about who we are. This is about identity. This is the work of transition. A change may take 5 months, but a transition may take 5 years. It is how we deal with the interior work of transition that can make or break us. In turn, the work of transition can help us deal with change, present and future. As a counterexample, we all know people who run from one disaster to another, because they have not done the deeper work of transition. In this light, his work on endings is very helpful. In short, I would recommend this book to anyone grappling with change and what's happening to them in the process. Though the themes are familiar to psychologists, counselors, social workers, teachers and clergy, professionals would find this a refreshing approach. Review: Bridging a unfathomable Gap in our life from work to retirement - It is now almost fifteen years since I entered into the challenging world of retirement. In no time at all, I found myself emulating the comment of another retiree to the effect that he was busier in retirement than he ever had been! At one of my retirement dinner ceremonies, a young lady came up to me and said, "Thank you for all that you have done and I think that you will find this book quite interesting!" I read the book in the next few days and its wisdom and humor have been with me ever since. It has so much to give to us beyond retirement! Since that time I would say that I have easily given away to my "retiring friends" at least forty copies of this book. Each time I have echoed the words of the original giver with the additional request to let me know what their reactions were. The unanimous sentiment was that the book provided so many helpful insights and now they are giving it away as well. I would only emphasize one point that is made in the book, we need to plan ahead for this event of retirement. It is not something we just step into having closed the door to our office.

In no time at all, I found myself emulating the comment of another retiree to the effect that he was busier in retirement than he ever had been!

Rick Wheeler ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Abstract and sometimes obtuse, But Worth It! *by S***S on July 8, 2014* I am no novice to psychology and self-actualization, yet this book offered information I neither thought of nor encountered elsewhere. I think particularly for Westerners, but for all, it will bring a shift in the way you view relationships and experiences. The shift is a freeing and kind one. Reading this book has bolstered and added new ways to navigate living and love for my beingness. The writing is convoluted. Bridges is a cerebral, analytical thinker. He often writes in the "subjective abstract". It took an effort to follow his trail, but he adds some good illustration to flesh out what he means. It is very well worth the effort to understand him. The wisdom in this book applies to so many stages of life and situations, it is in effect a handbook for living. It fits well with any spiritual path. It is a book that I plan to consult from time to time, because life and I do not stand still. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1702253-transitions-making-sense-of-lifes-changes-revised-25th-anniversary-edition](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1702253-transitions-making-sense-of-lifes-changes-revised-25th-anniversary-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
