A Practical Guide to Having It All
By Michael Hinz, Ph.D. and Jessica Hinz, Ph.D.
If only there were more hours in a day! Until there are, Learn to Balance Your Life is the book for anyone trying to make time for work, family,
friends, and even for themselves.
The authors -- life coaches and psychologists -- show that, with a clear vision and a bit of organization,
balance is close at hand. Their commonsense approach teaches readers how to identify key values and goals, and the practical steps it takes to turn
those dreams into reality.
Workshop-style exercises help develop vital skills for managing time. Sections on family, relationships, finances, career,
health, and home offer encouraging ideas for making everyday life more fulfilling.
Learn to Balance Your Life
is the guide for anyone who's exhausted by trying to do it all -- and looking for a better way.
