From cranky bosses to incompetent coworkers, traffic jams, inconsiderate drivers, and crowded break rooms, the hurdles people encounter while making their way through the typical work day in big cities are enough to drive even the sanest of people up a wall.
Tanna Marshall, a holistic health consultant and certified massage therapist with more than 18 years' experience as a natural health practitioner, offers a collection of tips and advice to help people deal with the daily stressors of living in a big city in her new book, "Living Peacefully in a Big City: A Guide to Maintaining Your Sanity, Health and Happiness" (published by iUniverse). Along with the simple reminder to be kind to one another, Marshall includes suggestions on how to reduce stress and deal with difficult issues while staying healthy in body, mind and spirit.
"After returning from a trip to Hawaii in 1994, where I felt surrounded by kind, courteous and peaceful people, I was tempted to move to the islands," explains Marshall. "Instead I decided to bring the attitudes I encountered back to my hometown of Los Angeles, California. "Living Peacefully in a Big City" blossomed as I wrote down tips and advice learned during my careers, that have effectively allowed myself -- as well as my clients -- to reduce daily stress and to live more peaceful, fulfilled lives."
Marshall's personal, story-telling approach addresses basic daily issues with easy, practical solutions to quickly dissipate stress or negativity in any situation, ranging from physical to spiritual. Concise and to the point, "Living Peacefully in a Big City" answers impactful questions such as:
- How improving your sex life changes your work day
- Why people should take regular vacations before, not after, they are burned out
- What to do when you feel your temper rising and attitude declining
- What's the best way to handle an overwhelming workload
- Why random acts of kindness are more influential than people think
"Tanna Marshall has written an easily accessible, amazingly helpful and simple-to-apply tool kit of ideas to help us free the mind, heal the soul and open ourselves to a life of peace and power," says Mary Manin Morrissey, author of "Building Your Field of Dreams."
