Speeded up, fragmented, impersonal and exhausting - that's how many people live their lives today. Sixty-four percent of Americans are taking steps to try to reduce stress, according to a 2005 report by the American Psychologists Association. Recent workplace trends are not helping. Articles in "Time" magazine, January 16, 2006, describe the emotional and intellectual fallout from multitasking and increased Internet activity. Dr Edward Hallowall, a psychiatrist, has coined the term Attention Deficit Trait to describe the work-induced disorder he's identified in increasing numbers of his patients, resulting in poor performance, guilt, and anxiety. He's worried about the effects of Web addiction, too - we may be "connected electronically, but disconnected interpersonally," he says.

Synopsis

But if we look at our choices through the author's eyes, its surprising how quickly we began to discover patience, peace and meaning.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
