I Need Balance In My Life. The Dream Of The 21st Century

I need balance in my life. “I want a life” “give me a break” “I’ll go mad if I don’t do something about this” “If only I had time to connect with people again”

How many times have you said things like these? Once a week? Once a day? Even more often?

Although we thrive on the pace and speed of business life, suddenly we feel that something is wrong.

Although we try many ways to achieve balance, we are in fact trapped by the lives we have worked so hard for and balance seems out of reach and running away from us. Dr Cowley spells out how and why we feel as we do. And he spells out the steps to create balanced lives.

The answer, he argues, is not in dreaming of a life, which is totally different, but in adjusting numerous aspects of the life we are living right now. Over time we become adept at walking the tightrope of life so as not to fall off either side. And therefore balance becomes possible.

If you are seeking work life balance, this book provides a range of down to earth strategies, which you can use immediately and into the future. And if you are an executive or manager in business or other organisations the book covers the critical things to address if you want to provide a workplace that can retain key managers and staff.
