Spiders in Space: Successfully Adapting to Unwanted Change
The book starts with a basic premise: 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. Whatever form it takes, unwanted change requires us to adapt to a harsher environment. 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, Todd and his co-author Rob Roach present a selection of adaptive traits that can help us not only survive, but thrive, when unwanted change comes our way.
Featuring a foreword by Canadian Astronaut Dr. Robert Thirsk, Spiders in Space is particularly timely given the unwanted change brought on by two years of recession in our province.
Available on iTunes and as an eBook on Kobo and Amazon Kindle.

The Boiling Frog Dilemma: Saving Canada from Economic Decline
Written by Todd Hirsch and Rob Roach, The Boiling Frog Dilemma argues that Canada in the 21st century is at risk of falling behind internationally. We need to "up our game" in terms of creativity, innovation, risk taking, entrepreneurialism, cosmopolitanism, community and re-thinking environmental stewardship--or risk becoming economically irrelevant on the global stage.

Halfway Home: Fifty Years in Fifty Chapters
Approaching middle age can be a rattling and unnerving time of life. But it can also be a wonderful opportunity to laugh, remember and reflect.
In his newest book, Halfway Home, author and commentator Todd Hirsch reflects on each of his 50 years so far -- one chapter for each year -- sharing details of his childhood, growing through adolescence, and finding his way from job, to career, to calling.
At turns humorous, thought-provoking and poignant, Halfway Home brings back memories of growing up in Alberta through the changing '60s and '70s, of world travels, of navigating challenges and of achieving the half-century milestone birthday.
"It is in the most ordinary situations that the most extraordinary events happen. But you have to keep your eyes and ears open to notice them. They are fleeting. You can't plan for them. Life is just this way." - Todd Hirsch
