Women are under increasing pressure in today's competitive world, expected to juggle a successful career, perfect home, fulfilling relationships and responsibility for child care. This overload of expectation can make women feel trapped by guilt, anxiety and exhaustion. This book suggests strategies to help them cope with such demands and make the most of their lives. A flow chart takes the reader through the key stages of a woman's life. Each event, such as setting up home, becoming a mother or taking a career break, is cross referenced to pages containing information, questionnaires and step-by-step programmes. Practical advice shows women how to assess their strengths, priorities and goals including time management and an interactive questionnaire assesses health, while step-by-step photographic sequences demonstrate health checks. Mental health issues are also discussed, with advice on how to recognize a problem, self-help plans and counselling for depression, phobias and eating disorders.
