National Bestseller

“Change is inevitable. Will you let this reality destabilize or empower you? Brad Stulberg’s immensely wise and timely book provides a powerful roadmap for a tumultuous world.”—Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work

A revelatory book on rethinking change, developing resilience, and creating a rugged and flexible mindset amidst life’s intensifying flux from writer, coach, and bestselling author of The Practice of Groundedness.

From social disruptions like economic recessions, pandemics, and new technologies to individual disruptions like getting married or divorced, illness and injury, career transitions, and becoming a parent, we undergo change and transformation—both good and bad—regularly. Change is not the exception. It’s the rule. Yet we endlessly fight it, often viewing it as a threat to our stability and sense of self.

Master of Change flips this script on its head and offers a path for finding strength and stability amid the chaos of life. Brad Stulberg draws on cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom, and daily practice to help you develop a mindset called rugged flexibility, as well as habits and practices to implement it. He reveals:

• How to be in conversation with change instead of it happening to you
• The importance of expectations
• Why cultivating a rugged yet flexible sense of self is key to a strong identity
• How to stay consistent on the things that matter to you most
• How to take productive action during uncertainty
• The power of embracing tragic optimism

Stulberg reshapes our entire perception of change and shows us how to use it to grow—helping us to be better, stronger, and wiser than we were before.

Engaging, insightful, very easy to listen to

This came recommended through the Arnold Schwarzenegger Pump Club email and app, and it did not disappoint.
Insightful use of philosophy, science, and strong personal (ie. relatable) writing makes this a compelling and easy to listen to book.
So much to come away with here too -from simple & actionable steps, to big picture philosophies.
I feel like I got a lot out of this book and will definitely relisten because I am sure there is more to gain from it.

Allostasis for modern life

“Master of Change” by Brad Stulberg is a must-listen for anyone navigating today’s fast-paced world. Stulberg dives into the concept of allostasis, which is about maintaining stability by adapting to change. He argues that we should embrace flexibility and openness to new information, rather than sticking rigidly to one viewpoint and arguing over who’s right. Packed with practical tips and engaging stories, Stulberg’s narration makes complex ideas feel accessible and relatable, offering a valuable guide to becoming more adaptable and resilient.

science based, pragmatic guidance to change

I like the no-nonsense, pragmatic approach to delivering information that is science-based and backed by evidence to help you understand, change and catalyze your own changes with your own guidance and direction.

Life changing

This book has helped guide me through tremendous change in my own life. I’ve been recommending this book to everyone who wants to better understand making their way through life’s many obstacles with what Stulberg calls “rugged flexibility”.

Stay Rugged and Flexible

Brad’s at it again. Another great book for all of us seeking to live our best lives and make all of every day. Change is hard and the support that Master of Change provides is hugely valuable. A+ work.

New Staple

If you're going through any major transitions or changes in your life, this is a lifesaver. l bought this because I have a few major life changes ahead that, while exciting, was also creating some amorphous anxiety and low-level fear; I was hoping for guidance and structure on how to approach it. This book doesn't disappoint -- it's well researched, thoughtful, pulls from many walks of life, and offers practical applications. It shines a guiding light to stabilize and remind people of their inner strength and capability, while also helping to shift thinking from apprehension and fear to ease and curiosity for the future.

This book is in my top 10 of all time

This book is in my top 10 of all time. Charlie Munger would have loved it.

A good book

overall I enjoyed this book, however it appears to a little overpriced. luckily I had credits to purchase

A great listen. Has depth, perspective, storytelling, and practical advice.

A cool takeaway to highlight, which is one of many, from the book is not every moment, and situation has to be about personal growth. The point is that sometimes things suck, and it's how you identify with the suck, knowing that you can work through it in time, resonated deeply.

Good Listen

Like many people I struggle with change. The last 11 years have forced me to embrace change. This book would have been really helpful as I dealt with changes and challenges at work, changes with my family, COVID, milestones, etc. Change is inevitable, and can be cathartic. This book makes it interesting to consider all the changes I've overcome and grown from, and not fear anticipated and unknown change coming up.
