About this item
No other book offers so many easy-to-use and diverse stress-relief techniques in a uniquely attractive gift package.. With a different technique or tip for each day of the year, no other book offers such a wide range of ways to release stress and anxiety, all set in an attractive illustrated design that will make dipping in for inspiration a joy. All the practices are effective yet also easy to follow, even if you have never tried them before, and range from energy techniques such as simple shiatsu, to quick stress fixes such as visualizing a blue bubble, to methods of life simplification such as avoiding a news overload and rationing your evenings out, to inspiring visualizations such as imagining yourself as the sky or as a lotus floating on water. This is one of the first two publications in a new 365 series from Watkins, showcasing easy, accessible and effective approaches to dealing with our demanding modern lives. Readers are free to work through the book in any order they like, either using the chapter headings to deal with aspects that they feel need particular attention (for example, home, work, relationships, mind and spirit, or stress and emotions) , flicking through at random or selecting ideas in chronological order. There is no need to subscribe to any particular belief, lifestyle or long-term practice; this is simply a collection of brilliantly effective ideas that together have the potential to transform lives.
About the Author
Over 15 years I have been an analyst, consultant, planner, facilitator, and educator in the field of strategic and industry foresight. I integrate foresight tools with classic management to create real-world industry/policy foresight; and work with leaders to implement future-wise solutions.My new book, "Future Savvy," is published by Amacom Press, New York. I blog at http://www.futuresavvy.netFuture Savvy provides a critical guide to evaluating what forecasters and industry experts say about the future ' what they predict ' giving the reader the tools to judge the merits of predictions. There's no shortage of predictions out there. Apparently helpful forecasts are ubiquitous in everyday communications such as newspapers and business magazines, and in specialized sources such as government and think-tank forecasts, consultant reports, and stock-market guides. These resources are important for navigating change, but they are also of very mixed quality. How does one know which predictions to take seriously, which to be wary of, and which to throw out entirely? Which ones do you let guide your decisions? That's what Future Savvy is about. It views the predictive discourse as an important resource, but it puts sharper tools in the hands of forecast readers and users.
