Work-Life Balance: The Challenge of Our Era
Work-life balance, especially during a tough economy, has become the
defining challenge of our era, so it's understandable that you came to this site.
Today, we find ourselves in an environment that seemingly conspires
to keep us in a state of perpetual motion, and the reality of our time is
that powerful social and technological forces have the potential to turn
each of us into human whirlwinds, charging about in "fast forward."
Work, time away from work, and everything in between appear as if they are
all part of a never-ending, ever-lengthening to-do list, to be handled
during days that race by. What an existence! Is this the future you envisioned when you were younger?
Actually, nearly every aspect of society has become more complex even since the
late-1990s. Traveling is becoming more cumbersome. Learning new ways of
managing, and new ways to increase productivity, takes its toll. Simply being
alive today and participating as a functioning member of society guarantees
that your day, week, month, year, and life, and your physical, emotional, and
spiritual energy will easily be depleted without the proper vantage point
from which to approach each day and conduct your life.
Do you personally know anyone who works for a living who consistently has
unscheduled, free stretches? My goal is to give you the tools and
information to put you back in control.
In July of 2009, 20 years, almost to the day, after writing my book, Breathing Space: Living & Working at a Comfortable Pace in a Sped-up Society, I was awarded the
distinction "The Work-Life Balance Expert" from the U.S Patent and Trade
Office. As such, I am the only person on earth so designated and I am pleased/relieved/humbled/honored!
It is my
mission in life to help people achieve work-life balance, and I have been
fortunate enough to have shared my message and information live with 770 audiences
at conferences and conventions, and with millions of others around the world
through my books, articles, e-books, transcribed speeches, DVDs, audio
books, and downloadable audios.
