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 describes how and why we feel as we do. And he spells out the steps to create balanced lives.
