Bruce Feiler is one of America’s most respected voices on navigating life’s transitions, rituals, and the stories we tell about ourselves. The author of seven consecutive New York Times bestsellers – including Life Is in the Transitions and The Secrets of Happy Families – Bruce has spent decades doing the kind of original, firsthand research that most writers only dream about.
He has crisscrossed all fifty states collecting hundreds of life stories, traveled to sixteen countries on six continents chronicling the rise of reinvented life rituals, and distilled it all into practical frameworks that have reached millions of people through his books, his three TED Talks, and his Webby Award-winning TED course on mastering life transitions.
His forthcoming book, A Time to Gather, is the culmination of that journey – a sweeping exploration of how meaningful shared experiences hold us together in a world that is increasingly pulling us apart, and a practical guide to creating them in your own life.
