The popular work happiness expert offers inspiration and insight into dealing with life’s obstacles by finding a new path to happiness and fulfillment. In one form or another, change comes to all of our lives—often in way we couldn’t expect, catching us off-guard and leading to feelings of helplessness. In From Drift to Shift, Jody Miller collects inspiring true stories of people who faced unexpected obstacles and struggles only to change course, discover their passions, and come out on top of their lives with a renewed sense of self. “There come multiple points in life when we have to make a shift in order to find true happiness and purpose, regardless of what others think. Whether you are a CEO or a stay-at-home parent, the stories in From Drift to Shift will inspire you toward an optimism that comes from facing your demons, your challenges, and the roadblocks along your path” (Brad Feld, from the introduction).

"Know thyself" is a leitmotiv throughout all great wisdom traditions. Inheriting from this principle, postmodern theories regard self-knowledge as the prerequisite to self-actualization and social transformations. While such a view is undeniably important, it cannot fully represent God's justice and equity. Indeed, it is not given to everyone to know--or just to desire--to know oneself. This book proposes a Christian alternative to human flourishing. Shifting the paradigm of the ancient wisdom that humanistic psychologists and postmodern tools continue to rely on, Christ puts the existential quest of "who we are" aside. Instead, he leads the faithful towards the actualization of their "gifts," transforming "uncreated energies" into co-creative opportunities for the betterment of their communities, organizations, and countries, regardless of who they are and how well they know themselves. Christ offers the path to the kingdom of God on earth (proposed in this book as the "nothing" from which creation emerges) and in which everyone has a role to play with no exception. Christ claims, "The kingdom of God is here: choose life and self-knowledge follows. Do not be afraid. I am with you!"
