5.0 out of 5 stars A great read if your life is crazy and you want to relax, August 18, 2005
This review is from: OASIS in the Overwhelm: 60-second strategies for balance in a busy world (Paperback)
I just finished reading Oasis in the Overwhelm over the weekend and all I have to say is, "bravo!!" I loved the book. The tone of the writing is so comforting. The author does not talk down to the reader but rather respect's your intelligence and individual experience. At the same time, she writes from a position of authority and backs up her findings and opinions with sound research. Throughout the book, I could almost hear the author's voice reading the words to me.

I think the aspect of Oasis I liked the most is that it does not promise too much, but what it does promise, it delivers. What I mean is, the author is not claiming that these techniques will make you as athletic as a major league ball player, as good looking as a supermodel, or as smart as Einstein; but the techniques will make you a better person and feel like you have more control of your life.

I have already practiced each of the book's four techniques and my wife has already noticed the difference. I am recommending Oasis to my Mother and Mother-in-law who both recently lost their husbands and are in search of the Oasis in the Overwhelm of their daily lives. I hope they get as much out of it as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars accessible and relevant - a week long seminar in a book, August 17, 2005
This review is from: OASIS in the Overwhelm: 60-second strategies for balance in a busy world (Paperback)
I must confess some bias. I have taken Ms. Grenough's course in stress management and have found it incredibly helpful even two years after the fact. I purchased the book as a refresher and was extremely pleased at how doable the refreshing was. Take "must figure out how to get a grip" off your to do list. Purchase Oasis in the Overwhelm and find a new lease on life. The book is short, practical and to the point. I highly recommend it.
