Balancing Work and Life

Life is more like a marathon than a sprint. Here's how to stay well conditioned.

Bill Butterworth will make you laugh-and learn while you're doing it! In the opening chapter of this powerful little book, Bill shares with you how, while running his rotund body in a nightmarish 440-yard dash, he learned a great lesson:

The attitudes and actions that result in steady success over the long haul are what make for long-term satisfaction and achievement. To experience this for yourself, you need to understand how to deal with life's inevitable challenges:

·The "Hazies"-losing sight of long-term goals

·The "Lazies"-lacking the self-discipline to bring life back into focus
