For the man who has everything -- except the time to enjoy it. The newest addition to the phenomenal bestselling series that has shown millions of readers how to avoid stress and enjoy life even more. This year I celebrate 40 years of being a man! It took most of those years to discover what makes us men tick and what makes us fall apart and stress out. It turns out, we're not that complicated! I've long thought that if men were just a bit happier and less stressed, the world at large would benefit enormously. To this end, I was inspired to write a book specifically for men. I'm biased, of course, but I believe men have enormous capacity and are more open to experiencing life to its fullest than we sometimes get credit for. Sometimes, all we need is a nudge in the right direction. --Richard Carlson, Ph.D. Over the past four years, Richard Carlson has shown countless families, lovers, and workers how to live in a more calm and productive manner.
