WHAT'S THE RUSH?

Ballard offers the skill and know-how to find inner peace and meaning in these frenetic times. Based on his experiences as a long-distance runner, his book serenely guides the listener through lucid exercises designed to slow the mind and focus on the moment. With a steady pace and quiet enthusiasm, the author relays recipes for change to be applied to everyday life--whether working, meditating or working out--leading the listener to greater optimism and well-being. Ballard suggests natural places to pause and complete his activities. With a mix of determination and detachment, he leads the listener towards a life of deeper meaning, all in less time than is needed to run a marathon.
