Staying Afloat When the Water Gets Rough: How to Manage Your Life in a Rapidly Changing World - Softcover

We live in a time of unprecedented change, with every day bringing unexpected and unwelcome changes in our global, local, and personal environments. These changes cause upheaval in our lives and result in stress, worry, and uncertainty for our future. In Staying Afloat When the Water Gets Rough, Dr. David Posen asks, "What can be done to increase our comfort with the daily changes in our outside environment?" With compassion, understanding, and humor, he explains the ingredients for "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, part action plan, the book inspires new ways to think about an old problem, encourages laughter, and points to a more secure comfort level with changes that may be beyond our control.
