This book was actually helpful. She shares her own stories while laying out her points. If you are a perfectionist, a workaholic, or have a tendency to stress yourself out, her advice can help you gain balance and sanity.  I benefited from reading this book; I remember to enjoy the sweet spot now and let go of the rest.

This book is a life and sanity saver for parents, grandparents and toddlers! I had a sick toddler at home today..and she wouldn't eat anything..so eased off on the pressure as you suggested. I love the extra resources the author has included at the end, including some amazing videos. Read this book to help you build up a good stress free eating regime for your toddler, just as they become very picky in their food habits and need good nutrition. This is a sensible book written by a doctor who evidently has children of her own, so all the ideas are sensible, and the there is enough detail to provide help to the most frustrated parent. Common sense rules throughout, such as advice to take the toddler to the doctor if she is ill. Sometimes parents need help. Toddlerhood is one such time.

What a wonderful book packed with information on rider bio-mechanics and exercises to help you strengthen your core and balance.  A must read for anyone who rides horses or for the rider who wants to improve their seat and balance!  It gives you an in depth understanding as to how easily our bodies can influence our horse's movement and balance, and how some of their behaviors (falling in or out, being crooked, etc.) are actually the result of us being off balance and causing the problem!  It really gave me more "rider awareness."

I highly recommend this book over Janice Dulak's book "Pilates for the Dressage Rider".  It much more well written and illustrated and the book is better laid out for the reader.  A must "addition" for any equestrian's library!  Your horse will thank you!

I also recommend, in conjunction with this book, anything from rider biomechanics expert Colleen Kelly.

I can't imagine a caregiver anywhere that wouldn't benefit from this book!  In fact, even if you're not a caregiver, there are great tips for keeping your sanity here!

Carol Core has gathered so many important points and put them into one easy-to-read resource!  I would highly recommend this read for anyone who has caregiving stress, or any other challenge or stress they need to address differently.

A very easy, valuable read.  Get it now!!

More Americans are talking about seeking balance in their lives. Many of them have actually gone beyond talking and are on the quest. The Balancing Act is one of a number of books that have been written (and will be written) on this topic. Seivert, a business consultant and executive coach, has put together a design that suggests five areas that need to be brought into an appropriate balance for you: Personal Life, Relationships, Leadership, Organizations, and World.
Various chapters of this book are keyed to the five elements; others are presented as being of general interest to the reader. This approach and book organization (the chapters are coded in the table of contents) enables the reader to concentrate, during first or subsequent readings, on those areas of greatest interest. Two appendices and an index provide additional support.
The book is organized into three parts: Finding Your Balance in Life, Relationships, and Work; The Five Elements of Success; and The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts. The first section, pre-chapters, offers almost three dozen pages of introductory material on Finding Your Balance, The Elements of Success, and The Great Ally Inside You. Readers will find a collection of worksheets to engage in some self-analysis before proceeding into the meat of the book.
The text is heavy on spirituality, as opposed to books focused on life activities and common sense advice. Seivert's elements: air, fire, water, and earth are discussed in the context of balancing them in the way you lead your life. If you are receptive to a deep spiritual approach to life, you'll enjoy this book. If you are not engaged by this approach, it will be difficult to connect with this presentation.

Loved the book!  I am so glad that I took time from work, family and all of the activities to look at the big picture of life again.  This is a common sense approach to finding balance again.  Now time to work on the 7"F"s!

UNWIND! is what you get when you combine the principles of Stephen R. Coveys 7 habits with that of mindfulness and stress reduction. Sound good? It is!

Authors Michael Olpin and Sam Bracken combine their expertise to craft a quick-read book that gets you into the balance of stress and tranquility. As the opening states, a little stress is healthy, but too much can be catastrophic. The authors use Coveys already established habits and offerget ready for itparadigms! (You thought you were done hearing that p word, didn't you?)

Before launching into their 7 paradigms, the authors do speak to the power of mindfulness, which I love. I am surprised, though, that the authors didn't really speak to the power of sleep, which Arianna Huffington used to combine with mindfulness and meditation in her book THRIVE.

The authors 7 paradigms are:
1) Reactive to Proactive
2) Unmotivated to Inspired
3) Pressures to Priorities
4) Hassle to Harmony
5) Anxiety to Empathy
6) Defensive to Diverse
7) Tense to Tranquil

I can testify to the power of each shift of the mind; these things WILL make you less stressed and more capable. The benefits are more than just health. Youll actually find yourself getting more things done, and get those things done in a more organized, more thought out, better way.

The authors claim that many other books pick apart the limbs while this book strikes at the root of stress. Im not so sure those others books don't accomplish the same. Yes, many self-help books may skirt around the issues, but if youve already been reading about mindfulness or have been faithfully following Coveys 7 habits, you may already be ahead of the game.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to find that balance in life and find the tranquility they desire.

Thanks to Grand Harbor Press and Amazon Publishing for sending me this book for review.

A compelling and entertaining work for those seeking to remain grounded and centered through any maelstrom. The marriage of Sun-Tzu wisdom with practical "how to" steps is a winning combination to attain balance in the modern world.

I really enjoyed this book. Ms. Galvan has a way of breaking down the complexity of body, mind and spirit in the simplest way. She is obviously incredibly knowledgeable and knows a lot of what she is talking about. If you are trying to learn how to decrease anxiety and depression naturally, this book has definitely broken it down. It starts with you and your nutrition! You will feel empowered after reading.

This book is for any parent like myself who needs to get off the emotional roller coaster of dealing with the daily chaos and crisis caused by the poor choices of our adult children. I liked it so much I started a SANITY support group in our community.

This book, and the ideas and tips held within it have really helped me bring a happy balance to my work and professional life.  Some of it seems so simple and easy you wonder how it could possibly make an impact on your life.  But I am finding it has not only made an impact on my life, but also on the life of my friends, family, and coworkers.  I am currently buying these books for Christmas Gifts for my staff.

I am very impressed by this book. The way Tony describes imbalances is very easy to understand. He makes complicated matters of physiology and anatomy easy to remember and that is super important. If you want to take control of your own body and health, I highly suggest reading this book. You will learn, you will understand and you won't regret it.

Chakras for Beginners is an inspirational guide to help you balance your energies for optimal health and life wellness. Associating each chakra with a color helps me identify.

The author does a really great job explaining and detailing each chakra, so you can tune better into yours and level your energy.

It's all about finding your balance. Great book and concept to get you started! BRAVO!
