why rooh recommends attending
We love experiences that help us sit with life’s big questions, especially when they bring together deep research and real human stories. The Other Side of Change has quickly become a book we find ourselves thinking about again and again because it turns the hard parts of life into honest learning opportunities rather than obstacles to avoid. Having Maya discuss it in conversation with Jay Shetty, someone who also thinks deeply about how we live, grow, and find meaning, feels like exactly the kind of thoughtful conversation we want you to be part of.
