Summary: Practical Tools for Dealing With Change
Comment: "It" Happens! does what Who Moved My Cheese? should have done. "It" offers specific, concrete behavioral techniques for learning to live successfully with change. Whether the change is in the corporate setting or one's personal life, these techniques will work if applied consistently. The story is simple yet engaging because of the various levels of application. I applaud Dr. Smith for her insight and her ability to take a subject that can be overwhelming and break it down into manageable steps that empower the reader almost immediately.

Summary: Life changing read
Comment: I always thought of myself as completely adaptable to change, even seeking out change until I read Dr. Smith's delightful story. I realized that I thought I loved change as long as every one I knew and loved went along on the "change" with me. When I was confronted with a change in my life that only I could walk through, Dr. Smith's tools for examining my reactions, feelings, thoughts and beliefs provided a road map to help me on my journey. This book is different than all other "how to adapt to change" books out there, invaluable for anyone facing a change in their lives, unexpected, minor, traumatic and life-altering. Dr. Smith also has a workshop that accompanies the book and I recommended this to my organization as something we should embrace and share.

Summary: A Self-Help Book That Actually Works
Comment: I dislike self-help books, but "It Happens!" is a remarkable exception. It is one of those rare books that actually works. It doesn't just make you aware of your problems - it actually shows you HOW to solve them. Packaged with the book is a foam Change Puzzle, a wonderful, tangible aid that you can take apart and put together in talking through problems with people. I use the book and puzzle with family, friends, and coworkers almost daily.
Here is the point: when you confront a problem or change (like a broken relationship, new job, unemployment, move, new school, loss of loved one, injury, child & teen problems, addiction, etc.), the stress and anguish can destroy you. But "It Happens!", a quick-read fable about change, has given me a concrete method for dealing with each situation. It's so simple that anyone can use it.
I keep the book and Change Puzzle on my desk at work to help coworkers deal with relationships, difficult assignments, money problems, job decisions, etc. I have a copy at home where I use it with family & friends. (My wife is a former drug/alcohol counselor and she uses the book and puzzle with friends who are in trouble.)
When you see how this works, you will become energized by the insights you get, as I have. The Change Puzzle pieces make you examine five things about a problem or change: your feelings about it, your thoughts and beliefs about it, your behavior about it, the consequences of your behavior to yourself, and - most importantly - the impact of your behavior on everyone around you. As you assemble the puzzle around your problem, you suddenly realize, "Oh - THAT'S it. THAT'S what I need to work on." It's pretty amazing.
I am using the book and puzzle today, literally, to help a coworker with a job-change decision, to help myself with a job-change decision, to help a close friend decide to enter counseling for depression, and to help that friend's spouse deal with the family mess. If everyone used "It Happens!" and the Change Puzzle, we'd have a saner, happier world!
