Book excerpt: If you are a workaholic, you need to put some balance back in your life, no two ways about it. Without balance, you will likely find yourself lonely, sickly, and bored out of your skull come your golden years (assuming that you survive until then, which is questionable). While a strong work ethic is an admirable thing for most people, workaholics have a tendency to ruin their lives by being unable to stop working when work time is over. In this 13-chapter book, Arthur Laud will help you come to grips with your addiction to work, and get it under control while there is still time. You will come face to face with the root causes of your affliction, and then be walked through a step-by-step procedure which will get you back on track to living a happy, healthy, balanced life.Life is Good for People with Balanced Lives The real irony is that once you start walking the balance beam, every aspect of your life will improve - including your work performance! You probably don't even realize that the best way to be more efficient in your work is to actually get away from it for a while. This book will open your eyes, and offer a very "workable" plan for achieving the balance and satisfaction you are missing.
