Synopsis
A fresh approach to thriving in the face of change.
What if the secret to an amazing, fulfilled life isn’t being able to get what you want, but being able to effectively say goodbye to what you’ve lost?
Whether you’re facing the end of a relationship or a job, an organizational change, the death of a loved one, or the loss of a long-held dream, the way you say goodbye can mean the difference between stagnating in grief and thriving in the future.
In The Good Goodbye, Dr. Gladys Ato shares how a seed planted at her mother’s funeral grew into a new paradigm for coping with change and loss and learning to let go with grace.

•Adapt to and successfully evolve with any loss or change
•Navigate change without being held back by regret or guilt

•Discover clarity of purpose for those parts of your life that feel out of control.
Change is never easy, but this heartfelt, motivational book gives you a clear roadmap to mastering it with self-confidence, trust, and grace. The Good Goodbye will enable you to release old pain, embrace new experiences, and create the amazing life you deserve.
