Each day we deal with the challenges of ordinary life: a series of mundane experiences that could be summarized by the title of this book, Work, Sex, Money. We all hope that these aspects of our life will be a source of fulfillment and pleasure, and they often are. Yet they are also always sources of problems for which we seek practical advice and solutions.

Imagine if we could remove from work all stress, exhaustion, and insecurity. Imagine if work became the expression of our deepest, most authentic self. Imagine if it no longer looked as though anything depended on it. Imagine if the idea of work dissolved altogether and became the simple, sheer joy of living. We don’t have to imagine it. We can live it. Ease explores the transformation of self, work, colleagues, performance, success, and money as we come back in touch with reality.
