Description

We live in a time of unprecedented change. The workplace has been transformed by mergers, downsizing and globalization. Economics, politics, education and even family life are undergoing upheaval. The result is stress, worry and uncertainty for most of us. Wheres it all going to lead? How do we look after ourselves while all this turmoil swirls around us? Dr. David Posen provides sensible and sensitive answers to the following questions:What will increase our comfort with change? What will make life transitions easier for us? What tools will we need to handle it?With compassion, understanding and humor, Dr. Posen explains the ingredients of change-hardiness, illustrating his message with stories from his own experience as well as from that of his patients and friends. Part psychology, part philosophy and part action plan, Staying Afloat When the Water Gets Rough will make you think, it will make you laugh and it will definitely increase your comfort with change.
