Synopsis Best-selling author Marianne Williamson engagingly combines practical psychology with spirituality in THE GIFT OF CHANGE. She shows us that change is an inevitable and continual process of life--but one that is made all the more intense and frightening in our technologically driven society. Williamson tells us, however, that when we accept change as the pathway to love, and learn to trust intuition as our "eternal compass," it becomes possible to let things happen and to deal with change in a stress-free, productive manner. To achieve connection with a guiding "higher power" (a nondenominational spiritual reference), Williamson lays out the key "bridges" of transformation: among them the crossing from forgetting to remembering, from fear to love, from anxiety to atonement, from guilt to rebirth. Williamson’s straightforward text is filled with poignant examples culled from her personal experience. Through these realizations, we can learn not only to accept change, but to initiate it when we need to, both in our personal lives and in the larger world.
