8. “I thought it was interesting, revealing, helpful,
insightful, and something that others would be not
only interested in, but could benefit greatly from.
I thought the stress charts were very good and
something that others would find very beneficial.
My stress levels were below 100 so that made me
feel good :)”
Richard Marston

9. “Having known An for many years and observed how her
work has impacted the lives of others through her
workshops and TV appearances, it is great to see that she
has now authored “Leading The Boss in The Mirror” to make
available her guidance to many more people. In today’s
economy where we have to do more with fewer resources, I
am sure that has led to additional stress in the lives of many
people, so this book is a welcome and timely resource.”

“To establish and live a contented and fulfilling
life, you have to make conscious choices and
create the lifestyle you are looking for.
Life will at times be in perfect flow and harmony
and at other times slightly out of sync, then just
remember it will always be a work in progress.
Create as many moments of calm as you can
possibly fit in your schedule and have fun!”
