Running on Empty

Based on her own widely respected book The Indispensable Woman, Ellen Sue Stern has taken the observations and recovery program which made that book so valuable and developed them into a daily meditational for women "running on empty"--who give to everyone but themselves.

In her widely acclaimed classic, The Indispensable Woman, Ellen Sue Stern teaches modern woman who feel they must DO it all and BE it all--employee, mother, friend, lover, daughter, hostess--how to break the addictive cycle of perfectionism and self-destructive behavior. Now, in Running On Empty, she brings more help: supportive, succinct thoughts for each day of the year, centered on quotations ranging from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland to the I Ching. Here are 365 meditations on themes such as overachievement and codependence, resisting guilt, letting go of fear, attaining perspective, and nurturing love, sex, and intimacy. Accompanying affirmations crystallize truths that can restore the balance between outer efficiency and the inner, free, spiritual you.

Running On Empty is an inspiring daily guide for any women who desires to transcend today's impossible demands and self-demands with confidence and serenity.
