Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and beloved Today host Hoda Kotb comes her most personal and ambitious book yet--a guide to dealing with change and upheaval, even (and perhaps especially) when that change is unexpected.

Hoda Kotb didn't expect to join the Today show at age 44. Or to become a mother at 52. Orto be single again at 57. As she's learned, change doesn't always arrive when we want it to, and its effects are anything but predictable. But the benefits of change can be extraordinary...if we're willing to listen to and learn from its wisdom.

In the tradition of books like Savannah Guthrie's Mostly What God Does and Maria Shriver's I've Been Thinking comes Hoda Kotb's Jump and Find Joy--an introspective, intimate book that reveals for the first time what Hoda learned as she stopped fighting and started embracing change and uncertainty. In her quest to understand change better and figure out how to work with it not against it, she channeled her reporting instincts and set out to investigate HOW change works, WHO was approaching it with grace and wisdom, and WHAT she could learn about it and apply to her own life.

With the wisdom of change experts, insights from the latest studies about resilience, and deeply personal stories, Hoda shows why change isn't to be feared but instead embraced...and how each of us can not just survive but thrive in the midst of changes that we'll inevitably face ourselves.
