I Need Balance in my Life

Achieving the dream of the 21st century

This book provides a range of down to earth strategies for achieving a work-life balance that often seems so far out of reach for executives both stretched and stressed. It also provides valuable insights for the manager searching for ways to create a thriving but happy business environment.
