Apparently, the story of the great Leo Tolstoy goes like this: he suffered from inner turmoil and could have faced his future more confidently had he had the right tools at hand. 

That’s my aim with Liminal – to help us discover ideas and concepts to help us all navigate transitions when they present themselves in our lives. 

The research on the nature of transitions is clear – the ending of something marks the beginning of a new way forward. Transitions come and they go – and with them, they hopefully spark a realization that we truly deserve the best of what our time has to offer us. And I can’t help but think about that one dreaded end we’ll all eventually face.

No doubt, it’s a long way away but thinking about the end of our existence sparks real action, no? It should – and we get it served up straight by internationally acclaimed well-being professional Jodi Wellman (MAPP, Penn U). 

The more I’ve explored the theoretical underpinnings of life transitions, the more I see how closely the experience of working through them and answering the questions they beg of us runs parallel to Jodi’s work and research. 

Jodi’s new book You Only Die Once comes out in May and more about her work on helping people maximize life can be found on her site fourthousandmondays.com.
