Description
Stressed out? Feeling like life is harder than it should be? Then you've come to the right place.
The Battle for Balance is a life and death struggle. Stay balanced, and we enjoy life to the fullest. Lose balance, and life gets hard.
In The Art of Balance: Staying Sane in an Insane World, life coach and psychotherapist David J. Bookbinder shows you how to stay on top of the forces that unbalance us, recover quickly if you get knocked down, and be prepared whenever life throws you a curve ball.
The Art of Balance doesn't just "give a man a fish," so he can eat that day. It teaches you how to fish. Time-tested self-help tools and techniques are integrated into a system that helps you create your own tools, develop your own techniques, refine your own strategies-and thereby become the master of your destiny. You'll learn:
The 6-step process for recovering and maintaining life balance
How to recognize when your balance is shaky-before you fall
How to boost your emotional resilience and stay steady on your feet
How to fend off unbalancers if they strike
When you follow the steps revealed in The Art of Balance, you're sure to move forward with a spring in your step that won't get unsprung.
More about The Art of Balance six-step system
The six-step system you'll learn in The Art of Balance is flexible and adaptable. You can use it to handle both chronic problems that take us down a little at a time and sudden events that knock us flat. Here are a few examples.
You'll learn how to stay centered when life hits you hard:
Romantic breakup
Job loss
Financial crisis
Illness or accident
Loss of someone close
And how to tackle chronic stresses:
Work/Life imbalance
Anxiety
Depression
Medical issues
Addictions
It's a system you can adapt not only to the issues you face today, but also to the unknowns down the road, so you can move confidently into your future.
