Optimal Level: A Woman's Guide to Meeting Life's Challenges

This book for women takes a new approach by offering a personal assessment, which identifies your personal ways of responding to life's challenges. Once, the reader is aware of her personal style, more tools await her for reaching a higher success level for both performance and comfort. We are all born with unique personalities. We can choose how we respond to who we are, where we are, and what we are. By exploring our attitudes, behavior, motivation, and values, the authors provide insight into applying this knowledge to coping with our own daily experiences. This book focuses on the most prevalent topics that women seem to face, such as self-image, life balance, relationships, health, work, and finances. Whether a woman is dealing with several children at home and pressing work demands, is great at nurturing everyone around her but ignores her own state of health, has fulfilled her educational objectives yet still longs for something seemingly missing -- she becomes aware of the truth about her values and finds refreshing answers. The reader is offered multiple approaches to finding solutions as well as recommendations and notepad exercises to reach a realistic, personal path to successful daily living. The authors present possibilities as opposed to telling you what to do. It is up to you, the reader, to apply this knowledge in your circumstances. More than strategies, this book gets you personally involved in creating your future, in a fun, interesting, and imaginative way.
