This book explores how our understanding of the past shifts as we grow. Over time, the same experiences can lead to different conclusions, not because events change, but because we do.

Why Life Stories Change examines the role personal narrative plays in shaping identity, belief, and meaning. Through reflective writing and philosophical inquiry, the book invites readers to consider how memory, interpretation, and perspective quietly evolve across a lifetime.

Rather than offering prescriptive advice, the book encourages awareness: noticing how we tell our story, how that story influences who we believe we are, and how revisiting it can open space for reinvention and clarity.

This work is especially suited for readers drawn to reflective nonfiction—those interested in understanding change, not forcing it.
