Krannich We spend too much time at work not to be hap py with the work we do. -Ed. C, age 62 EE Dan's Story It's diff icult to highlight the most challenging, difficult aspects of my career change because so many issues have been part of my decisio n. I left the corporate world because there was not enough flexi bility to allow me to be more involved with my family. An extreme ly long commute and frequent travel had combined to convince me t hat I was literally losing my soul-some essential part of me and my life that was vital to who I am. So it was not just the frayin g of the connections with my wife and daughter that prompted this leap of faith, but a fraying of something inside me. And I was n o longer willing to simply accept the belief that that is just th e way life is. I saw no viable alternative but to start out on my own, on my own terms. The emotional side of this has been very difficult for me-the self-doubt, at times the despair, the thinki ng I was crazy for making this move. Yet somehow I kept finding t he courage to move forward and to do what I need to do to get the re. I have never been so acutely aware of running up against my own personal shortcomings, and the fear that those shortcomings w ill do me in. And yet I have characteristics that I've used to co mpensate for some of those shortcomings, such as tenacity and res ilience. And I have reached out to people like yourself who have been willing to help me. In some ways, this has been an exercise in trusting that the combination of my strengths and my shortcomi ngs will balance out so that, on my own terms, I will succeed. D an, age 43, married with a 4-year-old daughter, resigned from the human resources department of a Fortune 100 company in the fall of 1997. He started his own employee benefits consulting business in western New Jersey, and works out of his home. This is Dan's second major career change; at age 27 he left the ministry to ent er the corporate world. You deserve it, you know. You deserve t o be not stressed, frustrated, overworked, underappreciated, exha usted, exploited, and unfulfilled. You deserve more meaningful re wards for work than money. You deserve to be recognized as a vita l human being, rather than treated as an expendable commodity. Yo u deserve to succeed in a vocation that fills your soul, not surv ive in one that fills only your wallet. You deserve to feel bette r physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Your famil y deserves it as well. So . . . why not you? The only limit to the realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. -Frankl in D. Roosevelt You can't steal second with your foot on first. -Anonymous Dan's story is typical of those collected for this b ook- collected from men and women who, like Dan and me, found tha t we could no longer remain in a career, no matter how financiall y rewarding, that didn't also reward our insides. Like Dan, most of us experienced the subtle, gradual fraying of family connecti ons, the awareness of losing some essential part of ourselves, th e self-doubt, the fears, the gnawing financial concerns. But we a lso felt that, despite the fear and anxiety, we had no choice-tha t we had to leave our physically, emotionally, and spiritually dr aining jobs. As Karen E., 46, remarked: There must be more to lif e than this. Some of us went to work for another employer; some o f us went into business for ourselves. Dan quipped, I started my own business so that I knew at least one person who would hire me . Some of us had clarity about our new vocation; some of us only knew that we had to quit what we were doing. Generally, the new vocations we want to get into pay less than the ones we want to l eave. Indeed, our career-change survey shows that three-fifths of respondents make less than they did in their former jobs. So the majority of us have had to downshift economically to make our ca reer moves a reality. Dan earns half what he made in his last pos ition; I still earn less than half. The accompanying fear of econ omic insecurity at first paralyzed us, even in two-income househo lds. It's far and away the greatest stumbling block in switching careers. We fully empathize with the enormity of such a decision, especially when children are involved. Yet we did it. We faced t he fear, we talked openly and honestly with our spouses and famil ies, we worked through it, and then we discovered a glorious para dox: By working through the anxiety, we discovered that we alread y had more than we needed. That is why, despite the downshifting, 75 percent of us are able to meet our household needs, and a thi rd of us have money left over to spend on luxuries. We found that by letting go of the job, the big income, the title, the status, and even the house, if need be, we received in return the gift o f freedom from economic insecurity. It is not easily come by, but it is decidedly worth all the angst we encounter getting it. As difficult and frightening as downshifting feels at first, the jo urney leads to rewards on many levels-practical, emotional, and s piritual. Sure, we hit bumps, potholes, and the occasional land m ine along the way. But most of us have grown through the process. One bonus is that nearly all of us now are blessed with improved family relationships. Today, we experience happiness, satisfacti on, and fulfillment in our chosen vocations and in our personal l ives that we once only dreamed of. Downshifting wound up making u s richer in the things that really count. It is a thread that run s through nearly all our testimonies. So if you are ready to join us on this wondrous, scary, exhilarating, and immensely fulfilli ng career-change pilgrimage, we offer you a message of hope, the knowledge that you are not alone, and the promise that you can ac complish this successfully. We are all here for you. So Why Not You? Hanging on to my own six-figure-income job involved comprom ise, inauthenticity, and lying (or stretching the truth). Althoug h I worked with many fine people over the years, I frequently had to make nice with incompetent, egotistical, and downright brutal bosses, unreasonable clients, and untrustworthy coworkers. Consc ientiousness and honesty didn't much matter; bringing in ever mor e business did. I traveled and entertained a great deal, so I was away from home at least two nights a week. I watched Wall Street ethics decline from a handshake is a contract in the 1960s to th e winner-take-all, me-first, ethics-be-damned feeding frenzy of t he 1980s. And I was unhappy. I was unhappy with what had happened to my profession, with my seeming inability to extricate myself from it, what was happening to my home life, and what was happeni ng to my soul. I undertook my career change in 1988, at age 50. In the years since then, working environments have clearly worsen ed. Men and women now become stressed out, burned out, fed up, an d downsized as early as their 30s. Regardless of the career, be i t health care, engineering, social services, teaching, or Wall St reet, employers demand ever-greater productivity from each worker without commensurate gains in compensation (other than stock opt ions) or improvement in working conditions. This change is refle cted in an informal survey I conducted. I asked men, women, and c hildren to give me a spontaneous, one-sentence definition of work . A sampling of their replies includes these: Work is what we do to earn money by using our skills. Work is how I support myself and my family. Work is where we spend most of our waking hours. Work is where Mommy [or Daddy, or Mommy and Daddy] goes every d ay. Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary defines work a s Bodily or mental effort, exerted to do or to make something; pu rposeful activity; labor; toil. Not one of those surveyed (inclu ding the dictionary) defines work as something to be enjoyed, let alone loved. How truly sad. Why shouldn't work engage us on a de eper, more satisfying and gratifying level? Why shouldn't we be h appy in what we do-look forward to each new day, regardless of th e real-life problems that inevitably arise? What's your definiti on of work? Do you enjoy what it is you do? Love your job? What w ould you like your definition of work to be? Here is the first pi ece of writing for your notebook: Sit down, think carefully about what you want your career to be like, and write it out. Revise i t until it reflects what you're seeking. Then type it (or print i t neatly) and hang it over your desk at home, or by your mirror, and look at it every day. And then have faith that you will somed ay live your definition-if you are willing to do the necessary fo otwork and make the necessary trade-offs. I wrote my definition, and today I live it: Work is what I do to be fulfilled as I earn money. Please note what takes precedence in the sentence: Work is what I do to be fulfilled. The money comes second-but it does co me. And please don't fall into the trap of giving up before you'v e begun, simply because you don't believe that you can do it or y ou can't afford it. You owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to begin the process. It will take you only as far as you believ e it will.

Explains how sensitivity to foods is responsible for many chronic and mis diagnosed ailments such as migraines, sinus problems, and persistent fatigu e. Includes a step-by-step process for identifying food allergies and intole rances and reshaping your diet for better health. Many people suffer from chronic, unexplained health problems--migraine head aches, poor digestion, recurring sinus symptoms, aching muscles and joints, persistent fatigue--whose causes remain elusive, even to doctors. When con ventional tests fail to provide a clear-cut diagnosis, doctors often sugges t that these symptoms are due to stress or anxiety, but now Jonathan Brosto ff and Linda Gamlin demonstrate that quite often food allergies and food in tolerance are the true culprits in these situations. The authors provide clear explanations of the causes of, as well as the differences between, food allergies and food intolerance and offer numerous case studies on problems all too familiar to many readers. More important, they provide much-needed solutions and treatments for these problems. Along with a wealth of illustrations and charts, Food Allergies and Food Intolerance includes an invaluable step-by-step process for diagnosing food intolerance with a three-stage elimination diet and a system of gradual food reintroduction.

Stress and anxiety can wreak havoc on skin, resulting in acne, eczema, dry patches, rosacea, loss of elasticity, and premature aging. But before optin g for Botox injections, laser treatments, and harsh chemical peels, try a h ealthier approach. Susan Ciminelli, skin-care expert to the stars and owner of the New York City day spa that bears her name, believes that the skin i s a mirror of one's internal environment. The right lotions and creams are just one piece of the puzzle: What you put into your body, and, most import ant, the foods you eat play vital roles in your skin's health and appearanc e. The Ciminelli Solution approaches skin care from the inside out, combining recipes, exercise tips, and treatment suggestions in a seven-day program th at brings the mind, body, and soul into balance, resulting in flawless skin . Susan's step-by-step, day-by-day cleansing program is designed to jump st art a healthier way of living and eating, without deprivation. This isn't a strict, clinical regimen. Instead, Susan takes the spa approach, focusing on what you should give to your body, not what you think you should take aw ay. Susan shows how eating certain foods gives skin renewed vitality, beauty, and longevity, and explains what to eat -- and what foods to avoid -- to achieve a healthy, glowing complexion. In addition to flavorful recipes for dishes such as Wild Salmon Burgers, Herb-Roasted Chicken, and her famous Adzuki Bean Soup, Susan includes recipes for facial masks, scrubs, and pee., William Morrow, 2006, 3, Imogen Young, 2020-12-04.
