How to Handle Worry A Catholic Approach

Today's world is busy and non-stop--one filled with eighty hour work weeks and too little time left over. With humor and insight, author Marshall Cook offers a practical approach to deal with worries and banish anxieties that creep into our chaotic lives. He explores strategies for creating and maintaining harmony by drawing upon our faith and releasing our burdens to God in prayer. This revised edition addresses coping with new stressors, such as post 9/11 terrorism and today's economic crisis.

Marshall J. Cook taught for the University of Wisconsin-Madison for thirty years and often speaks at conferences nationwide. He has published several books on stress management and has even been a guest on Oprah to discuss the topic. Marshall edits Extra Innings, an online newsletter for writers. He has authored thirty books and hundreds of magazine articles. Marshall holds a BA in creative writing and MA in communications from Stanford University. He has been married to Ellen since 1968, and they have one son, Jeremiah. When not writing, Marshall likes to read, jog, lift weights, and talk back to the television (not all at the same time). He is a passionate minor league baseball fan, drives the back roads, and eats in small town cafes.
