Everyone has heard the statistics . . . 75% of Americans describe their lives as "very stressful". . . frustration, absenteeism, and burnout are rampant and with the pace of change and globalization, almost everyone predicts it's just going to get worse! Plus, even though everyone is experiencing more stress than ever, they are also tired of "stress management" and people giving them simplistic answers to life's complex problems. In his fourth book, Dr. Crawford addresses this problem by first explaining why this level of stress and frustration is so prevalent, and why so much of the advice about how to deal with these problems will never work! Using a conversational style that is free of psychobabble, this ground-breaking new book then gives its readers a concrete, comprehensive system for shifting to the upper 80% of their brain (the "Top of the Mind") and accessing the clarity, confidence, and creativity necessary for success in today's world. Life From the Top of the Mind is designed for people and organizations who want to become more influential in their lives, and the lives of others.
