How you see yourself and connect to the events in your life changes over time. How you arrange the plot points of your life into a narrative shapes who you are and is a fundamental part of being human.

To have relationships, we've all had to tell little pieces of our own stories. We share our life stories every day, and the story we construct over time has a great deal to do with our self-identity.

In Why Life Stories Change, author Brent M. Jones offers some thoughtful reflections and personal stories to show how the events of our lives can be reshaped over time, resulting in positive changes and a reinvention of who we are.
