Featured Book

comfortable-chaos-large Do you struggle to balance your work and your personal life? Don't believe for a minute that there is some "magic bullet" solution that will let you achieve a perfect balance — there is none. We think that Comfortable Chaos, by Carolyn Harvey and Beth Herrild, is among the best and most practical books ever written on this subject. The real world approach they take is the reason Fortune 500 corporations hire them to help executives deal with the issues of home and work pressure.

Find the book in our American and Canadian stores and learn more.
