"End Overwhelm Now" is the book for you if you, or someone you know, experiences feeling overwhelmed. Overwhelm is epidemic across most of the modern world. Our nervous systems aren't designed to keep up with the rate and scope of change. We can't slow down the outside world; all we can do is manage our inside worlds - the space between our ears. Life and business coach Karen Van Cleve has spent the last 15 years learning what overwhelms us, why, and most importantly, what can we do, NOW, to shift our overwhelm. The book offers a seven-step process designed to walk you through interrupting your overwhelm right now. Karen has tested it with hundreds of her clients and on herself. Her life has been the ideal laboratory to both trigger, and resolve, overwhelm. Unlike other emotions that can have some redeeming value, overwhelm NEVER serves. It makes us less effective, less confident, and less capable of handling the endless demands of the modern world. That's why it's so important to end overwhelm, and do it now.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Karen personally and after mentioning some of my struggles with her she offered me this book. Not realizing she was the author I began reading it to help with some of the overwhelming tasks and circumstances I have been dealing with in my life. Her book and her Stories process to help put a stop to overwhelm have really helped me focus on what is within my control and have a evidence based practice on how to manage what I can control and be a successful in all my endeavors, part time masters student, full time employee, and full time small business owner. I hope that you too can take her book and maximize the benefits you can gain from her examples!
