ôIf you do what youÆve always done, you'll get what youÆve always gotten.ö (Quote by Anonymous, page 55 Alter Your Life)
The greatest threat to America and its inhabitants has been revealed and experts are naming it, ôStress.ö As a medical professional, IÆd like to add complacency, and lack of knowledge regarding how to break the stress- cycle to the problems facing AmericanÆs today. Turn a page in any health magazine, flip through your local TV stations and what you will find is: article after article, report after report, linking stress and the fast-paced American lifestyle to: cancer, obesity, heart disease and a myriad of other diseases. Overworked, overweight, undernourished, and suffocating under piles of work, over-using our natural and spiritual resources, we AmericanÆs are in a heap of trouble. Fortunately, Dr. Kathleen Hall author of Alter Your Life has devised a sound, step-by-step, non-dogmatic approach to changing your lifeùand your own special corner of the planetùwithout having to: surrender all of your worldly goods, give up your job, or move to the mountains. Sounds easy, doesnÆt it?
Hall will hook readers from the first page by appealing to their desire for a better life. Her plan, carefully woven together with the wisdom and appreciation of multiple spiritual traditions, provides a true blueprint for a better life.
