Description

Does life have you feeling stressed out, anxious, or filled with conflict? Three Deep Breaths will help you achieve calm in the midst of chaos and transform all that stress into positive energy. You’ll find a relatable hero in Angus, a harried worker struggling to achieve that ever-elusive work/life balance, whose story illustrates this deceptively simple, extraordinarily effective technique in action.

This technique takes just minutes and can be practiced just about anywhere—while you’re driving to an appointment, commuting to work, walking to a meeting, or sitting at your desk—but it will have a profound effect on every aspect of your life. It will help you transform even the toughest situations from stressful to energizing, from anxious to centering, and from worrying to inspiring. Practice it regularly and you’ll achieve the calmness and presence of an aligned, centered state of being.
