How to Rewrite Your Story After a Life Quake with Bruce Feiler

How to Rewrite Your Story After a Life Quake with Bruce Feiler

What if the most painful disruptions in life—illness, job loss, divorce, or even an empty nest, were actually the keys to growth?


Bestselling author Bruce Feiler shares how “life quakes” shake up our stories and push us to rewrite them. From his own battle with cancer and family upheaval to studying hundreds of life transitions, Bruce reveals why resilience is a skill, not a trait, and how rituals, creativity, and storytelling can turn crisis into renewal. Dive into his powerful seven tools for navigating transitions, learn why the myth of the midlife crisis is outdated, and how to finally become the hero of your own story.


✨ Tune in to discover how to transform life’s hardest moments into your greatest turning points.
