Todd Hirsch writes with a rare blend of economic insight, personal reflection, and human storytelling. Whether exploring Canada’s shifting economy, the discomfort of unexpected change, or the quiet milestones of a life well-lived, his books offer clarity and encouragement for uncertain times. Each title reflects his belief that with the right mindset, change can become a source of strength.
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. 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.
