The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans

In this powerful and deeply human talk, cognitive scientist Dr. Maya Shankar shares transformative insights from her book "The Other Side of Change," blending cutting-edge behavioral science with moving personal stories. Drawing from her own life-altering experiences and interviews with individuals who’ve faced profound upheaval, Dr. Shankar explores how we can rethink our relationship with change—not as something to survive, but as a profound opportunity for reinvention and growth. With warmth and clarity, she offers practical strategies for navigating disruption, helping audiences unlock resilience, tap into new potential, and embrace change as a catalyst for becoming their most authentic selves.
