The Power of Being: For People Who Do Too Much

by Christian R. Komor

People everywhere are feeling overwhelmed and disillusioned with an increasingly complex and demanding world. We do our best to adapt, we rush and multitask - yet the enjoyment, peace and love we long for is somehow missing from our everyday lives. We have and do more, but are less and less satisfied - and more and more alarmed by increasing rates of stress-related illness. In The Power of Being, nationally acclaimed psychologist Dr. Christian R. Komor provides specific exercises for regaining control over our high-pressure lives and finding our inner peace. This how-to book is jammed with easy-to-use techniques for all those who feel their lives are filled with too much activity and stress. Join Dr. Komor on a journey from from Compulsive Doing to joyful Being.

The manual that should be given at birth! I absolutely had no idea after a *very* thorough & rigorous inquiry examining one's own relationship to work that Komor would begin to conclude & wrap up how one's transformation in this area ultimately impacts the future of our planet. Komor puts his case together quite eloquently in this book - felt it read like a good novel. If you are someone who has gotten the least bit resigned around symptoms you experience from being "overworked" (you might be flat burnt out), this book brings fresh air provided you take what works for you and leave what doesn't. Speaking for myself, having new context that I can keep making a difference in the world while I spend 100% of my time inward - is my key take away. Excited to consider this may very well be my primary field of research & sharing with y'all is my first step forward so thanks for reading!
