Synopsis

Overwhelmed helps people make sense out of the transitions they face in every day life. This book is based on years of research-studies of people moving, adults returning to school, people whose jobs were eliminated, retirment, non-events like not having a baby, not getting promoted. These studies resulted in the development of a generic framework for understanding any type of transition. Based on this research, Overwhelmed presents a step-by-step approach to turning overwhelming transitions into challenging experiences. By systemically sizing up transitions and one's resources for dealing with them, people can learn how to build on their strengths, cut their losses, and even grow in the process.

Media Reviews
Nancy Schlossberg's warm, practical, and constructive approach will help anyone feeling overwhelmed (as all of us occasionally are) by events we hoped for, by disasters we hoped to avoid, or by sleeper changes we didn't anticipate. -- Carol Tavris, Ph.D., coauthor of Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts
Nancy Schlossberg's Overwhelmed: Coping with Life's Ups and Downs is a combination self-help book and personal improvement tool-kit. Professor Schlossberg tells great stories-stories that teach and guide us to move from overwhelmed to in control as we face life's vicissitudes. What more could one ask for? -- Bernard S. Arons, M.D., Psychiatrist and Executive Director/CEO, The National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. (NDRI)
