Bruce Feiler, the author of seven New York Times best-sellers, has long explored the stories that give our lives meaning. Galvanized by a personal crisis, he crisscrossed the United States, collecting the life stories of hundreds of Americans who’d been through major life changes, or “lifequakes” as he calls them. In this timely, uplifting talk, he offers powerful, detailed strategies to rebuild our lives in times of uncertainty and transform them into periods of growth and renewal. BRUCE FEILER is the author of seven New York Times best-sellers; the presenter of two prime-time series on American television; and the inspiration for the drama Council of Dad on NBC. Bruce’s two TED Talks have been viewed more than two million times. Employing a firsthand approach to his work, Bruce is known for living the experiences he writes about. His work combines timeless wisdom with timely knowledge turned into practical, positive messages that allow people to live with more meaning, passion, and joy. His new book, Life is in the transitions: Mastering Change at any age, describes his journey across America, collecting hundreds of life stories, and exploring how we can navigate the growing number of life transitions with greater purpose and skill. The book was a Top 10 New York Times bestseller.
