The \"second brain\" in their gut tells them their life must change. Bruce Grierson draws on over 300 hundred stories of u-turners  including famous cases like Gandhi and Gauguin as well as a host of other gripping tales of people who have risked everything to answer lifes wake-up call: people who change political parties and careers  people give up their jobs as doctors to become poets  men who become women  professional athletes who quit to spend more time with their families  mothers who quit their families to pursue careers  people who suddenly become revolutionaries for a cause they didnt care about the day before.  Grierson examines the u-turn from all anglesphilosophical  scientific  literary and psychologicalbeginning with premise that the wake-up call is the secular equivalent of the religious epiphany  the moment when a person is \"born again.\" When does the wake-up call happen? Often in mid-life  but not always. Is it a good thing? Yes and no. Who does it happen to? Potentially any of us  under the right circumstance. Is America ready for a mass u-turn? Maybe. In chapters that address everything from the neuroscience behind epiphanies (the eureka moment) to the possibility of \"forcing\" a u-turn  Grierson brilliantly describes and elucidates this powerful  mysterious phenomenon  and in doing so illuminates all or our continual struggles with life choices and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963314434101,"sku":"ByrdShop_1582345848","price":69.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781582345840.jpg?v=1770411825","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/uturn-what-if-you-woke-up-one-morning-and-realized-you-were-living-the-wrong-life","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
