People talk about 'having it all' but the prospect of trying to achieve everything can mean you achieve none of the things you most want. Many people rush headfirst down a career path which they think will lead to money, status and success without considering the consequences to their personal lives. The status and financial rewards of a nine-to-five job are meaningless, if you are feeling miserable and stressed. Juggling the conflicting demands of modern life is stressful and sometimes, ironically, leads to the breakdown of family life that the paid work was intended to support and help thrive. Any change can be intimidating but trying to change everything that is wrong with your life leads to an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. The result is you do nothing and life continues as before. This book addresses the importance of change in your life but acknowledges that it may be impractical, risky and overwhelming to contemplate wholesale change. It suggests that instead you make one impactful change in your life - however big or small - and that by doing so you will in fact change your life forever. You will be given practical, advice on how to identify the change you want to make and step by step guidance on how to make the leap. There are real life examples of people showing how they have done this despite having all the normal duties and responsibilities that you do too.
