A tender and wise guide to identifying, navigating, and embracing the changes needed to live as your authentic self, from the celebrated author of Welcome Home.

Most people want something in their life to change, whether it's their job, their personal relationships, or their ability to live authentically. And sometimes, unwanted change comes all too swiftly. In The Only Constant, celebrated author and educator Najwa Zebian guides her readers through the changes we must make (or those we need to endure) on the journey to our most authentic lives. She quiets the noise, teaches us to accept ourselves as we are now, and focuses on the necessity and beauty of those messy transitional times.

This is a profound guide to embracing impermanence and celebrating the fact that change is what puts the life in life. With timeless wisdom, Najwa shares her personal experiences with change (for example, rejecting her culture's definition of what constitutes a "good woman" so that she could live more honestly). She guides us through the changes we choose, like embarking on a new career or setting boundaries, changes we don't choose, like the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a job, and changes we need to make to lead an authentic life.

Ultimately, Zebian teaches that the purpose of change is to step into the world as your most authentic self. A highly practical guide to unfamiliar terrain, The Only Constant is here to assure us that uncertainty is natural. Yes, change is scary. But it's the path to living as your true self.

Sometimes change is welcome and sometimes it’s an unpleasant surprise. But how do we best deal with the changes, both big and small, in our lives? In The Only Constant, I’m guiding readers through the changes we must make (or those we need to endure) and how to fully embrace those changes on the journey to lead our most authentic lives.
