2025 Nautilus Book Awards Silver Winner

If life were a house, then every room holds a story. What do we do when a room we’re in is no longer a room where we belong?

What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it’s time to make a change? When it comes to navigating the big decisions and life transitions around when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it’s time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.

Podcast host, spiritual director, and bestselling author of The Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman offers a practical guide to discernment, helping us recognize when it’s time to move on from situations that no longer fit, allowing us to find new spaces where we can flourish and grow.

How to Walk Into a Room helps us begin to uncover the silent, nuanced, and hidden arrows for anyone asking questions like: How do I know if it’s time to move on? What if I stay and nothing changes? What if I leave and everything falls apart?

Through thought-provoking questions, actionable spiritual formation practices, and personal stories, How to Walk into a Room will help you to know and name the caution flags in your current spaces, discern the difference between true peace and discomfort avoidance, navigate endings even when there is no closure, find peace for when you feel ready but it isn’t time, and courage for when it’s time but you don’t feel ready. 

For anyone standing in a threshold or navigating change, here’s a book to help discern the how, when, and what now of walking out of rooms and into new ones with peace, confidence, and a whole heart.

It’s a book about listening to your life and finding the courage to act.

• A Guide to Decision Making: Learn to ask The Ten Questions that will help you uncover the hidden arrows pointing you toward your next right thing.
• When to Stay and Go: Move beyond the fear of “what if I leave and everything falls apart?” with a gentle framework for making choices with confidence.
• From Faith Crisis to Hope: Through Emily P. Freeman’s personal story of leaving her own church, find companionship for your own spiritual questions and transitions.
• Finding True Peace: Discover how to tell the difference between a true, grounding peace and the temporary relief that comes from simply avoiding discomfort.
