As our world grows increasingly more complex and stressful, developing our capacity for dynamic balance in our lives, work, and relationships becomes vital. Based on the ancient wisdom traditions and the insights of indigenous cultures throughout our world, Living in Balance reveals that in each moment, we have the capacity to be mindful of whether our thoughts and actions are moving toward harmony and balance, or away from it. Through this awareness we can make a conscious choice to continue on the path we are on, or to change our attitude and direction. By encouraging experimentation with the myriad of principles and practices offered, the authors empower the reader to determine which of those are most resonant and meaningful, and can be woven into the fabric of daily life.

Instead it offers a rare synthesis of ancient wisdom traditions with cutting -edge research on peak human performance that points toward mindfulness as being truly the key to living in balance.
