Spiders in Space: Successfully Adapting to Unwanted Change

by Todd Hirsch, Rob Roach (co-author)

From small disappointments to heartbreaking tragedies, unwanted change blindsides us and leaves us wondering what to do next. It might be new neighbours constantly blasting loud music late at night; it might be a technological breakthrough that leaves your business in its dust; it might be a heart attack that nearly kills you. Whatever form it takes, unwanted change requires us to adapt to a harsher environment. Like the spiders sent into space by NASA that found ways to spin their webs without the aid of gravity, we have to find ways to overcome the pitfalls that life places in our path. Drawing on inspiring stories of individuals, organizations and businesses, Spiders in Space presents a menu of adaptive traits that can help us not only survive, but thrive, when unwanted change comes our way.

I was a little disappointed with this book. The author spoke about it at a conference I attended, and the premise was interesting and thoughtful. However, I don't think it needed to be a book. It worked better in his presentation and may work best for something like a TEDTalk. But the book itself belaboured the metaphor and was extremely repetitive.
