Inner Peace For Busy People (Hörbuch (Download))

This "simple, powerful, and fun" guide for anyone who is 'crazy busy' offers advice on how to manage stress and find inner peace in the face of never-ending to-do lists (Richard Carlson, author of the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff series)
Why have we allowed busyness to become a badge of honor and a jaw-clenching, mind-bending competition? Slaves to phones, beepers, e-mails, faxes, piles of snail mail, to-do lists, congested traffic, and pushy telemarketers who call during dinner, many people are also trying to balance the demands of family and career. As a result, they often feel squeezed out of their own lives, and unable to extend the kindness and care to their loved ones that they would really like to.
The paradox of this century is that Americans are wealthier than ever before—yet we are more stressed, depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed than at any time in our history. We have very little peace of mind. Inner Peace for Busy People is here to help with 52 weekly inspirational entries that will help readers change their lives life and their attitudes. Through story and science, spirituality and humor, it offers easily learnable skills for recovering inner peace, one week at a time.
