Learn To Balance Life, Work, School, & Family With The Book, “Choosing Work-Life Balance”

April 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Learn To Balance Life, Work, School, & Family With The Book, “Choosing Work-Life Balance”

Regrettably, for many, a balanced life is an ideal rather than a reality. This book introduces the Umbrella Model (the "U" (YOU) Model) to help YOU understand and achieve work-life balance. The model focuses on "YOU" who have the ultimate control and things that YOU can do yourself. The Model brings together many of life's inter-connecting issues; namely, healthy lifestyle, your unique identify, and life management skills, to assist YOU to understand and attain work-life balance. This book discusses important concepts, asks probing questions, and offers practical guidance for YOU to develop an action plan which, upon implementation, will make work-life balance a reality.

Since work constitutes a major component of most people’s life, this book focuses on work-life balance. Based on many years of life experience and the author’s own attempts at maintaining work-life balance, Dr. Chan wrote this book to seek understanding about what barriers to work-life balance are and how to overcome them. Building on day-to-day observations of life situations, this book reflects on the reasons behind life’s occurrences, identifies broader concepts, offers practical tips, and includes sample tools that can be tried out readily.

Choosing Work-Life Balance was written for those in the work force, as well as students, and homemakers. The ideas in this book relate to creating a balance between work life and personal life, an issue all face. Therefore, the issues and approaches discussed in this book are relevant and should be of interest to all of them. Dr. Chan believes that the book will provide useful alternative perspectives and possible answers to questions many people going through life ask.
