FROM THE PUBLISHER

Do you dread Monday mornings? Do you find yourself living for the weekends? Are you bored or miserable at your job but don't know how you could get paid to do something you love? Are you a working or stay-at-home mother on overload, with little patience or energy left at the end of the day? Then you, like millions of other American women, are at serious risk of burnout -- physical, mental and spiritual exhaustion that robs your life of enjoyment and purpose. Whether you're a professional who's watching the clock at the office or a stay-at-home mom who's watching her day slip away with no time for herself, the solution isn't about taking a day off to recharge or becoming a more proficient multitasker: It's about making true life changes that will renew your passion and purpose.

Psychotherapist and career coach Leslie Godwin focuses specifically on the needs of women -- women who have the innate ability to recognize others' needs yet have blind spots when identifying their own. A former workaholic herself, Godwin shows women how to put their goals and dreams back into focus, and provides a step-by-step plan to change their lives.
