When you spend time with children or family, does it feel like you're wasting time that could be spent working? Do you spend more time preparing for the gym than exercising? Do you read about sex, but never go on dates? Do you carry a beeper or cell phone wherever you go even though you’re not a trauma surgeon? Then Life Is Not a Stress Rehearsal is the book for you. With Loretta LaRoche’s signature mix of lighthearted insight and cutting-edge research, it will teach you how to take a step back and see the insanity for what it really is, take lessons from the way life used to be, and find your way to becoming a calmer, saner person.
