Many people see change as a threat, but April Rinne has spent her career learning to recognize it as an opportunity. Her book is a reassuring, hands-on guide to treating unexpected events as challenges to embrace rather than obstacles to avoid.

Flux is both wisdom and a wake-up call for all ages. April’s style is that of a dear friend who celebrates you for who you are and encourages you to evolve. She brings her whole self to Flux, sharing personal stories of loss and transformation alongside first-hand accounts of how change is viewed around the world. You’ll never look at change and uncertainty in the same way again.
