Everybody’s heard the term "rat race." We know we’re all running it, but often it seems the rat race is running us. As we juggle the complexities of work, home and family, is it possible to "relax into" the rat race, to run it on our own terms?
Rat Race Relaxer is not a book about escaping the rat race; in my opinion, the rat race is inescapable. It is also not an attempt to help you build a more perfect life or a guide about how to leave all your stress behind. Instead, it is a journey to learn more about who you are and a toolbox to build skills that can help you deal more effectively within the chaos of an imperfect system.
Our perceived powerlessness amid the myriad of available choices is what most often leads us to believe that the rat race can never be run on our own terms. On my journey, I discovered how to stop running, to relax into my unique path and to enjoy my individuality. I stopped letting the rat race run me and instead began using my skills to navigate through the maze of life. This book is a compilation of how I learned to love my life, imperfections and all.
