Drawing on the groundbreaking revelations in Life Is in the Transitions, Bruce Feiler presents a timely new roadmap for how to transform and reinvent ourselves in times of transition to live with more meaning, purpose, and joy. Feiler has spent seven years collecting and analyzing life stories from hundreds of Americans who underwent enormous life changes. Mining this rich wellspring of data and stories, Feiler explores the greatest emotions we struggle in times of change, the biggest roadblocks to reinventions, the habits we most need to shed, the secrets to being creative in moments of uncertainty.

With extraordinary insight and urgency, Feiler shares a groundbreaking toolkit for flourishing in periods of upheaval and the first new model for navigating life transitions in half a century.

Drawing on his global journey across six continents, hundreds of interviews, and groundbreaking research from his book A Time to Gather, Bruce Feiler reveals how society is pushing back on the collapse of human connection.

Drawing on a decade of New York Times columns, three New York Times bestsellers, and proprietary research for a new book on what he calls “intentional inheritance, Feiler delivers a lively, practical talk designed to help high-net-worth families contend with the issues they struggle with most: building intergenerational harmony. Feiler introduces

As the co-leader of a multigenerational family business, Feiler weaves his personal experience with proprietary data to introduce his “hierarchy of inheritance,” a pyramid of priorities that all families face.

Fewer people are searching merely for work these days. More people are searching for work with meaning. Drawing on insights from his most-recent books, THE SEARCH: Finding Meaningful Work in a Post-Career World and LIFE IS IN THE TRANSITIONS: Mastering Change at Any Age, as well as 20 years of writing about modern life in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and elsewhere, Bruce Feiler lays out a road map for finding work that brings you the happiness you crave, the meaning you deserve, and the success you seek. As the workforce becomes younger, more female, and more diverse, the world of work is changing fast, but the world of career placement is not keeping up. In a talk filled with inspiring stories, proprietary data, and practical takeaways, Feiler debunks the three lies of work (“You have a career,” “You have a path,” “You have a job”) and explore the one truth (“Only you can write your own story of success”). He then gives participants a toolkit for how to perform a “meaning audit” when they’re going through a work change that allows them to stop chasing someone else’s dream and start chasing their own.

Drawing on insights from his most-recent book, THE SEARCH, his viral WSJ essay, “The New Rules of Success in a Post-Career World,” and his TED White Paper “The Meaning Moment: How a New Generation of Workers Is Changing the American Workplace,” Bruce Feiler discusses how leaders can adapt to the rapidly changing attitudes toward work and success a new generation of workers–younger, more female, and more diverse. Gone are the days when managers can simply issue top-down edicts and ignore the input of their workers. But what do workers want? Feiler’s talk first explores the changing values of today’s workforce, focused specifically on his proprietary data on the post-pandemic rise of job fluidity, work from anywhere, along with the importance of balance, flexibility, and well being. He then gives leaders a proven, three-pronged approach to create a more purpose-driven workplace: 1) How to conduct a “meaning audit” to identify your organizations strengths and weaknesses; 2) How to develop a “meaning agenda,” that introduces science-backed solutions; and 3) How to “communicate with meaning,” using language from the top of the organization to the bottom that is people-focused and inclusive, while also being inspiring and helpful to the bottom line.  This timely, practical presentation offers a new framework for work in a post-Covid, post-career world and road map for leaders and workers to work together to create a more welcoming, more balanced, and ultimately more successful work culture.

The Council of Dads: The worldwide phenomenon that went from a life-threatening illness to a bestselling book to an NBC primetime drama series. Faced with one of life’s greatest challenges, Bruce Feiler reached out to six men who helped shape him and asked each one for a piece of advice for his young daughters: how to live, how to travel, how to question, how to dream. In this funny, moving presentation, Feiler relates the lessons he learned about the power of friendship, the importance of relying on our community whatever challenges we face, and how to celebrate what’s most precious in our lives.
