Enlarging our comfort zones

"How do we learn to enlarge our comfort zones rather than lapsing into a life of habit? How do we negotiate the awkward stage of trying something new and learn to operate there with success? This book is the story of ten years of a challenging, surprising, and deeply satisfying career that gave the author the opportunity to create an expanded comfort zone. It starts with a life falling apart around the age of 40, and describes the happy discoveries this allowed."--Back cover.
