Jim Ballard

JIM BALLARD has had careers as a teacher, corporate trainer, publisher and author. He uses stories to teach self-help and spiritual principles. A chief interest has been the speedup of change over the past few decades due to technological change, resulting in people's tendency to lose meaning and purpose by their habit of rushing to catch up. Ballard has produced two books on this subject, What's the Rush? and his latest, Rushaholics Anon. Besides his Mind Like Water and Little Wave and Old Swell, he has co-authored a number of books, including the Whale Done series, with best-selling author Ken Blanchard.
