This Changes Everything

A Surprisingly Funny Story About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About

*NATIONAL BESTSELLER*

A cancer diagnosis caused Tyler Merritt—beloved author of I Take My Coffee Black—to realize that there was no time for anger, unforgiveness, foolishness, or lost friendships. None of us have any time to waste.

When Tyler Merritt was diagnosed with cancer, everything he thought he knew about what mattered in life changed. Though he made it through a highly invasive surgery and thought he was in the clear, Tyler soon realized that the cancer had other plans. It wasn’t a question of if the tumor would come back for an encore, his doctors told him. It was a question of when. The clock was ticking.

This Changes Everything is a humorous and optimistic love letter to this beautiful life. As Tyler counts down the days until his next scan, he begins to understand that none of us have time for anger, for being unforgiving, for foolishness, for letting relationships drift, or for letting friendships to be lost. It’s a clear-eyed reckoning with the reality that our time on this earth is limited and a hopeful vision of how each of us can make the most of the time we have left.

Laced with Tyler’s trademark humor, love of pop culture, and arguably too many musical theater references, This Changes Everything is a story about how wrestling with the idea of death can birth a whole new outlook on life, how we live it, and the urgency that comes when you grasp that time is a precious commodity.

Must Read!!!

I found Tyler through Jen Hatmaker and instantly bought his first book which was amazing but I knew for this next book I wanted the audible version. Tyler is the best storyteller! He made me laugh out loud and cry. This is one of the best audio books I have ever read.

Tyler Merritt is truly amazing! I love his little chuckle at the ends of funny lines.

I kept waiting for a whole chapter about meeting Jen Hatmaker. Come on, Tyler!! I knew you met her in NYC, so in the chapter about that trip, I was waiting patiently for the big reveal of that magical meeting. Lordy! It is a good thing I have pre-order her upcoming book, Awake. I bet she will give us the details! Hehe

amazing as always

loved everything about it. made me laugh, cry, smile & made my heart smile.

Remarkable point of view

The passion in the reading was very moving. It kept my interest all the way through

Tyler’s Voice!!!

This is definitely a book to LISTEN to. OVER AND OVER, if not for listening to your friend’s voice, but because it’s THAT GOOD! And you should also BUY the book book to follow along because it has more good stuff in the footnotes. MY DUDE!

Honest, heartfelt and hilarious

Grateful Tyler is willing to share his story, and those of others, with us. I laughed, I cried and then I laughed and cried some more. Just a truly great read.

All love for you Tyler

I will always get any book you write Tyler. You are truly amazing! Thank you for your strength, joy, courage, vulnerability, and humor. Sending you all the love, support and good musical theater nerdy thing 🎭🖤

OMG! His story makes me love him more!

Tyler Merritt tells his story with tears and hope and laughter and inspiration. I loved the settle comedy, the unapologetic black history and references to 90’s music, tv and movies . After all he has been through, he is still living, loved, respected. I want to be his friend (hit me up Tyler 🥰🤣). I will follow whatever he does next.

This is a must listen.

Any story told to you by Tyler is a must listen. Inspirational and educational. When you sit down to listen to Tyler's story,it's like sitting down with a friend. You cry,you laugh, you feel. Tyler makes the world a better place. Life is people and time spent with people we love.

Feels like a friend

Listening to Tyler’s latest book reminds me why I started following his work years ago: his incredible ability to weave into his work real-life historical truths about being black in America. As a white woman raising white kids I find it invaluable to hear about the things we don’t learn in school.
