Review
Of all the books on balance, this is the very best one. Practical, clear and true, it invites you to engage deeply with your own experience. Only then can the superb guidance that Renee provides find its way out of your mind and into your life. --Joan Borysenko, PhD, author, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind and Inner Peace for Busy Women
