Maya Shankar
Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist and the host of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans. She trained as a violinist until a hand injury ended that career. For this book she interviewed people who went through big changes they didn't choose, and combined their stories with research on how people find meaning afterward.
Letting go also means accepting that some things won't go to plan. Shankar's book is about how people grow when that happens.
