Sometimes we humans don’t like the change we’ve encountered, whether it’s a loved one passing, a lost job, or a lost opportunity. As Neale Donald Walsch notes, “Most of us have experienced events which we have called, when they were happening, the worst moments of our lives, only to find as time went by that what occurred was one of the best things that ever happened to us.”
These changes can feel absolutely devastating. We may ask “Why me?” and “How could this happen?” and feel that “this is a nightmare, this is not real” when it seems like our world has flipped upside down. Neale’s book When Everything Changes, Change Everything shares extremely vital tools to cope with change, the very thing that is always constant in our lives.

Neale Donald Walsch has been a newspaper reporter and managing editor, a radio station program director, public information officer for one of the nation's largest public school systems, creator and owner of his own advertising and marketing firm, and a nationally syndicated radio talk show host. He has now "retired" from his career in communications arts to pursue his vision of a world in which people no longer live in fear of God, or of each other.
He has written more than 25 books on spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including the multimillion-selling With God series: Conversations with God, Books I–III; Friendship with God; Communion with God; The New Revelations; Tomorrow's God; What God Wants; and Home with God. The titles have been translated into 37 languages, and seven of those books reached the New York Times Bestseller List.
Walsch is the creator of several outreach projects: Humanity's Team, CwG4Kids, the ReCreation Foundation, and the Changing Change Network, all revolving around a "hub" organization: The Conversations Movement.
Neale has a home in southern Oregon where he lives with his wife, Em Claire, who is a working poet. They travel extensively throughout the world, speaking to audiences and sharing the messages of the Conversations with God material. His newest books are When Everything Changes, Change Everything and The Mother of Invention.
Change, for me, has something to do with how people deal with reality. Change, sometimes, go beyond our control and that’s when we have to do something about it. The keyword is “attitude”. Like in the way we have to deal with the bad weather (which is something we can’t control), for example, will always hand us the kind of attitude we’re going to use as a response. For though we can’t control the weather, we always had the option to control our attitudes toward it and to change its effects on us.
