Praise for Revealing Your Next Season

“'The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why,' Mark Twain famously noted. Yet, this nugget of wisdom overlooks the multiple seasons of life that offer us the gift of rebirth and the chance to reimagine our purpose. In Revealing Your Next Season, Leslie Braksick and Mark Linsz blend the insights of behavioral science with the testimonies of those who have courageously charted new courses. This book is more than a mere source of inspiration; it is a practical guide, providing pathways to greater empathy, resilience, and richer relationships. With each chapter, readers will discover how to deftly navigate new directions and seize fresh opportunities with confidence and clarity.”
