^ Introduction
This is a meditation book for women who do too much. When my publishers first suggested doing this book, we talked of the need for a book for women workaholics. Yet, as we discussed the need for such a book, we began to explore the many different kinds of women who overwork and do too much and agreed that many of us would not initially define ourselves as workaholics. However, there are F many of us who do too much, keep too busy, spend J ;
all our time taking care of others and, in general do ''
not take care of ourselves. Many of us have crossed ^^ ' f over the line to compulsive, addictive, self- » '
defeating behavior and need to make some major ' ?
changes in our lives. Hence, I decided to write a p^i '! book for women who do too much regardless of li'-
where we do it or how we do it. This is a book for i^v^i women workaholics, busyaholics, rushaholics, and careaholics. I hope that it will prove interesting, challenging, and helpful to a range of women.
I decided to use only quotes from women. This does not mean that there are no tempting, exciting, and useable quotes from men—^there are. However, I found so many wonderful quotes from women that I decided to use them exclusively. I have used a variety of quotes from women. I have tried to use quotes from women of different ages, cultures, disciplines, and perspectives. I have used quotes from famous women, women at intensives, and women who just said something important in passing. This gathering of women's quotes has proved to be a rich and enriching experience for me.
