Self Joy

Stop! is not a book about health, wellness, stress reduction, diet, and exercise. There are thousands of books on those topics. Stop! is not fundamentally a business or a self-help book. Eric Parmenter's Stop!, based on the latest behavioral and brain science, is designed to help you figure out what you can stop doing to create more space in your life to enhance your joy, your well-being, and productivity, so that you can live a life on purpose.

Sister Alma’s voice will encourage you, inspire you, and soothe you. Her prayer for you is this: “May your soul be blessed, your spirit renewed, and your joy heightened, as you partake of this offering, given to you, for the glory of God."

This is ambition addiction: the all-encompassing yearning for success at any cost.

We may feel angry when something we believe is unfair, be it an oil spill, a racist comment, or someone blocking us in traffic.
