Change Proof

Leveraging the Power of Uncertainty to Build Long-Term Resilience

By: Adam Markel

Narrated by: Mike Chamberlain

In his #1 bestselling guide to resilience, Pivot, business and personal development expert Adam Markel showed how building resilience can supercharge your life and career. Now, in Change Proof, he shows how you can move beyond managing change to actively embracing it—and actually using times of uncertainty, crisis, and chaos to create opportunities and stimulate positive growth.

Broken down into four parts, Change Proof explores the dynamics of change and provides a model of how to create the mindset that embraces it fully. Using case studies, current research, and his years of experience as an expert in the integration of business and personal development, Markel uses real-life scenarios to illuminate the lessons in engaging chapters that include The Myth of Balance, The Resilience Bank Account, Recovery vs. Burnout, Even Michael Jordan Paused, Get Out of Your Head, A Little Failure Goes a Long Way, Calm Is Contagious, and What Change-Proof Culture Can Do for You.

You'll learn how to choose change before it chooses you, what it takes (and what it means) to become truly change proof, and how to leverage your relationship to change. Change Proof will help you take the art and science of resilience to the next level—and look forward to future and all the changes it will bring, with full confidence.

Out of the Blue, Grounded

This book jumped out at me in a moment of unexpected distractions. As I was sitting in the bookstore reading a different book I thought to myself I need to find something that can speak to me at this point in my life. I stood up off my chair and got distracted over some commotion going on then for no reason I looked to my right, walked over to the bookshelf, and there it was nestled between other books. I decided to give it the 10 page read and found myself reading the whole book. The advice hits home if you’re at a point in your life where this topic makes sense. For me change proof and resilience are something I’ve been working on for quite some time and this book put it all into perspective. I wasn’t looking for it. The thought occurred out of nowhere and the book sort of fell into my lap. If you find yourself running in circles or just frustrated with your current situation in life give this book a read. It’ll help clear the noise in your head and put you on a path towards clarity, surrender, and certainty about your future by grounding you in the present moment.
