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 creating pain as an ongoing lifestyle."

"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 attitude" is now offered as a panacea to all the problems of the world. We have taken something that is profound and true - the idea that a positive attitude or belief system can play an important role in a fulfilled life, and we have trivialized it into a "magical incantation."

"Power is about choices."

"If you want things to change, you must be willing to work."
