A Life in Balance: Nourishing the Four Roots of True Happiness Hardcover - 2006 - 1st Edition

by Hall, Kathleen

From the publisher

Nautilus Book Awards Winners for 2007 (category: Self-Help/Psychology/ Personal Growth)

"Like many people, Kathleen Hall found that despite great success and material wealth, she had yet to identify purpose, meaning, and balance in her work and her life. She left her Wall Street firm and devoted herself to understanding the relationships between mind, body, and spirit, and between professional and personal fulfillment. Since then, she has studied with great spiritual leaders including the Dalai Lama, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and the exiled Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh. She has also learned from medical experts like Dr. Dean Ornish of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute and Dr. Herbert Benson at the Harvard Mind-Body Institute.

Inspired by those diverse influences, Dr. Hall has written A Life in Balance, a guided journey to joy, peace, and an intentional life grounded in the four roots of the SELF:

* Serenity. Find what brings us peace, and channel it into everything we do

* Exercise. Align the body with energy and health through walking, yoga, martial arts, and more

* Love. Build community and relationships that heal others as well as ourselves

* Food. Pay attention not just to what we eat, but to what we experience through all our senses

Our lives pull us in many different directions; to find happiness, we must first create balance. Filled with wit, wisdom, and compassion, A Life in Balance will help any reader identify and stay true to his or her authentic self."
