Product Description

Stressed? Confused? Downsized? Promoted? Relocated? A book of 52 simple, actionable keys -one for every week of the year- to help you discover new meaning in your current job, expose unhealthy levels of stress or show you a path to a whole new journey.

Everybody’s heard the term "rat race." We know we’re all running it, but often it seems the rat race is running us. As we juggle the complexities of work, home and family, is it possible to "relax into" the rat race, to run it on our own terms?

Rat Race Relaxer is not a book about escaping the rat race; in my opinion, the rat race is inescapable. It is also not an attempt to help you build a more perfect life or a guide about how to leave all your stress behind. Instead, it is a journey to learn more about who you are and a toolbox to build skills that can help you deal more effectively within the chaos of an imperfect system.

Our perceived powerlessness amid the myriad of available choices is what most often leads us to believe that the rat race can never be run on our own terms. On my journey, I discovered how to stop running, to relax into my unique path and to enjoy my individuality. I stopped letting the rat race run me and instead began using my skills to navigate through the maze of life. This book is a compilation of how I learned to love my life, imperfections and all.

What makes Rat Race Relaxer an enjoyable, thought-provoking journey that reads like a storybook? Fifty-two simple, actionable keys – one for every week of the year – aimed at helping readers discover what they truly want and how to incorporate them into their daily lives.

*Find new meaning in your current job
*Deal more effectively within an imperfect system
*Navigate the uncertain maze of the future on your own terms
*Discover what you are truly racing toward
*Expose the specific areas of your life causing unhealthy levels of stress
*Capitalize on your individuality
*RELAX into your unique life path

JoAnna Carey, author of "Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life" shows you how to tackle the rat race head-on and turn it into a race that can be run – and won – by charting your own course rather than navigating someone else’s.
