CHOOSING WORK-LIFE BALANCE
- The Keys to Achieving What Many Think is Unattainable
What the Book is about
This book addresses one of life’s most important issues - achieving work-life balance. It introduces the Umbrella Model (the “U” (YOU) Model) to help YOU understand and achieve work-life balance. The model focusses on “YOU” who have the ultimate control and things that YOU can do yourself. The Model brings together many of life’s inter-connecting issues; namely, healthy lifestyle, your unique identity, and life management skills, to assist YOU to understand and attain work-life balance. This book discusses important concepts, asks probing questions, and offers practical guidance for YOU to develop an action plan that, upon implementation, will make work-life balance a reality.
Regrettably, for many people, a balanced life is an ideal rather than a reality.
Since work constitutes a major component of most people’s life, this book focusses on work-life balance. Based on many years of life experience and my own attempts in maintaining work-life balance, I wrote this book to seek understanding about what barriers to work-life balance are and how to overcome them. Building on day-to-day observations of life situations, this book reflects on the reasons behind life’s occurrences, identifies broader concepts, offers practical tips, and includes sample tools that can be tried out readily.

Therefore, the issues and approaches discussed in this book are relevant and should be of interest to all of them.
