The Pivot Year

Product Information

I had a chance to read Brianna Wiest’s new book, The Pivot Year, this week before it was officially released on April, 25th, 2023. Like her other books, The Pivot Year is one of those books that leaves you stunned with wisdom and inspired to change, and realize your highest potential. None of us are ever ready for change, because change is never comfortable. So it’s not something that we will easily choose, even if it’s what we do genuinely want. However, I think what matters is reflecting on the fact that change has an inevitability factory to it. Our inner selves whisper until they scream — and the journey is about learning to hear and honor those whispers, to change when we are feeling nudged, before we are being forced. Some years are more transformative than others, and a pivot year definitely will be one of the most expansive years of someone’s life. Do you have any advice for someone about to undergo their own pivot period? For example, are there any challenges to be expected? Anything beautiful to look forward to? Ich gehöre definitiv nicht zur Zielgruppe dieses Buchs. Ich finde viele Texte zu Achtsamkeit zu spirituell-verschwurbelt oder belanglos, als dass sie mich wirklich ansprechen könnten. Das Konzept, sich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren, finde ich aber an sich spannend und da ich viel Gutes über 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think gehört hatte, wollte ich diesem Buch gerne eine Chance geben. Meine Mutter hatte ein Rezensionsexemplar zu Hause, sodass ich es netterweise ausleihen durfte und nun war es für mich leider ein Flopp. I would have to say that it’s more about a culmination of the self-work I have been doing for the past ten years. I tried to distill all of the ideas that I found to be helpful or expansive into something that is poetic, inspiring and easy to access each day. Over the years, your work has been primarily focused on personal transformation and change. For example, 101 Essays is about changing the way we think, and The Mountain Is You is about changing our self-sabotaging behaviors. The Pivot Year , however, is a little different as the premise is based on the idea that who we are meant to be is already inside of us; it’s just a matter of inviting our true selves to come out of hiding. With all of that said, why do you think so many people, myself included, struggle with being their most authentic selves? Sometimes we tend to forget that our current situation does not have to be our destiny. Charlotte Freeman, Everything You'll Ever Need

Change is daunting. Change is terrifying. Change invites in the unknown. But mostly, change is inevitable. The truth is that, throughout our lives, things are absolutely going to shift and move around and evolve. And while some of these changes are out of our control, there are definitely facets of our existence that are within our power to change for the better. And in her newest release The Pivot Year, author Brianna Wiest wants to help us do just that. Bad feelings should not always be interpreted as deterrents. They are also indicators that you are doing something frightening and worthwhile. Not wanting to do something would make you feel indifferent about it. Fear = interest. Brianna Wiest, 101 Essays The Pivot Year is meant to be an interactive and engaging tool for personal growth and transformation. By reading it consistently and applying its insights to your life, you can make meaningful progress toward becoming the person you truly want to be. Everyone will take something different from it. Zubikowski has a unique vantage point. The former NFL Films producer has experienced it all when it comes to handling A-list personnel and humanizing them through delicate storytelling. But don’t take my word for it. In her own words, here is author Brianna Wiest on her latest book The Pivot Year, which meditation was most important to her, and why she writes the way she does. First off, congratulations on the publication of The Pivot Year! Can you give us a brief rundown about what this book is about and how it differentiates itself from your other works?I know that so many people have such busy schedules and hectic lives, carving out time for self-reflection is hard to do. I wanted to create something that would give readers a daily message that could either be something to meditate on or use as a thought exercise, to stretch their perceptions and hopefully begin to plant seeds for deeper and greater revelations to come. What inspired you to write The Pivot Year ? Was it your own pivot period? Was it the insights you’ve gained throughout your years as a writer? A combination of the two? Give me the tea. When those things happen, you now have to learn how to take care of yourself,” Clark explains. “You now have to be not only efficient, but aggressive in protecting yourself against other people who may not have your best financial or personal interests at heart. The other part about it — and this is why I wholeheartedly trust [Taylor] — I know the last thing he’ll ever do for the rest of his life is allow somebody to f– him over monetarily. Along with that, the other thing he would never allow anybody to do is mess over me.” Aber du wirst nach und nach entscheiden, was dir wirklich wichtig ist, was du wirklich während deines Lebens erfahren möchtest, und du wirst das andere sanft und liebevoll in die Zeit entlassen.«

The book's structure left something to be desired as well. The chapters didn't always flow logically, making it difficult to follow the author's intended narrative. Additionally, while personal anecdotes can lend credibility to an author's message, in this case, they often overshadowed the advice being offered. Your life is a reflection of your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Change any one of those things, and your life will change too. Brianna Wiest, The Pivot YearTitel: The Pivot Year - Zeit für inneres Wachstum - 365 Tage, um der Mensch zu werden, der du wirklich sein willst The three people I work with on the daily are part of two of the most popular and best player-led podcasts ever made,” Clark says of Crowder, Taylor and Zubikowski. “We had a head start, right? We were trust fund babies [because of what they did] before they came here.” We work this out by multiplying the distance from the pivot to the point on the spanner where the force is applied in metres by the force on the spanner. As Clark puts it, “The things that we did well in life are why we have a platform; the things we teach are about the ways we failed.” Clark, Crowder, and Taylor empower one another to let their individual personalities breathe. Crowder is the earnest comedian, good for off-the-wall, yet blatantly honest comments to derail everything. Clark is the natural point guard, having been in the broadcast game with ESPN since 2015. And Taylor is beloved by the show’s fervent fan base as “the OG” because while he doesn’t interject often, everybody listens when he does.
