01. STRANGERS by Belle Burden
Strangers by Belle Burden is a memoir about the sudden collapse of a seemingly perfect, wealthy New York marriage and the author’s transformation in its aftermath.

05. THE OTHER SIDE OF CHANGE by Maya Shankar
Drawing on decades as a cognitive scientist and host of A Slight Change of Plans, Shankar pairs in‑depth stories of people facing seismic life disruptions—illness, loss, divorce, career derailment—with research on how minds and identities adapt. She shows how unwanted change can provoke grief, anger, and disorientation but also unlock new abilities, perspectives, and values, inviting listeners to view upheaval not just as something to survive but as a chance to reimagine who they can become.
