Emerald Lake Books Releases "Navigating Transitions," a Compassionate Guide for Finding Purpose in Life's Most Difficult Moments
SHERMAN, Conn. - Hartok -- Emerald Lake Books is honored to announce the release of Navigating Transitions: Embracing Change and Finding Purpose, a deeply insightful and uplifting new book by psychologist and first-time author Linda Burks, PhD.
Drawing on over four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Burks takes readers by the hand through one of life's universal experiences—change. Whether triggered by loss, illness, retirement, divorce or unexpected upheaval, transitions often shake the foundation of who we believe ourselves to be. Rather than resisting those moments, she offers a transformative invitation to engage with them as catalysts for spiritual clarity, emotional growth, and profound purpose.
"Navigating Transitions is an authoritative guide to unlocking the power of purpose by embracing life's most difficult moments," says Richard Leider, bestselling author of The Power of Purpose. "Based on a lifetime of experience, it offers practical value and comfort for anyone facing the trials of transition."

Gentle, research-grounded, and spiritually wise, Navigating Transitions blends reflective insights, real-life stories, meditation practices, and self-guided exercises to help readers move through uncertainty with courage and compassion. It is ideal for individual reflection, support groups, spiritual communities, and anyone seeking light in the midst of change. It even includes discussion questions that can be used for personal reflection or to facilitate a group session.
"Linda writes with the rare combination of professional certainty and heartfelt grace," said Tara R. Alemany, founder and publisher at Emerald Lake Books. "This book doesn't just talk about navigating change, it walks with you through it in a hopeful and positive manner."
