When I have assisted individuals with life planning and creating the changes they wanted in their lives, William Bridges’s book provides the best clarification for the transition process. Where most people move from one employment to another or from one life change immediately into another, Bridges explains that the best transitions include a space in between beginning and endings.
First published in 1980, Transitions explores the underlying and universal pattern of transition. It has been named one of the fifty most important self-help books of all time. Transitions offers an elegant, simple, and profoundly insightful roadmap to navigate change and move into a hopeful future:
Endings: Every transition begins with one. Too often we misunderstand them, confuse them with finality — that’s it, all over, finished! Yet the way we think about endings is key to how we can begin anew.
The Neutral Zone: The second hurdle: a seemingly unproductive time-out when we feel disconnected from people and things in the past, and emotionally unconnected to the present. In reality, the neutral zone is a time of reorientation. How can we make the most of it?
The New Beginning: We come to beginnings only at the end, when we launch new activities. To make a successful new beginning requires more than simply persevering. It requires an understanding of the external signs and inner signals that point the way to the future.
