About the Author Pithy Quotes from "Who's In Charge? Attacking the Stress Myth:
"This book is not about never feeling pain at all. It is about not

"Managing our stress sounds like a lesson on how to be organized
with our misery."
"A revolution in the way we think is necessary to change the way we
behave."
"Complaining is easy. Whining is easy. We do it from habit."
"The phrase "Keep a positive attitude," has degenerated into "think
good thoughts and only good things will happen." A "positive

"Power is about choices."
"If you want things to change, you must be willing to work."
