Time Poor Soul Rich: 60 Second Solutions and Other Lengthier Remedies For Busy Professional Women

What is the biggest casualty of your busy life? Is it Creativity? Serenity? Intimacy? Do you have a rich soul despite being time-poor? Or have you lost (or never had) that inner contentment?

TIME POOR SOUL RICH explores 16 casualties of a busy life that can be soul enriching if not ignored. Author Anne Winckel appreciates many women have little if any discretionary time, and in this remarkable book shows time-poor women how to move back into a habit of caring for themselves - rather than assuming they need to take time off from work to elevate their well-being out of survival mode.

Each chapter provides sixty-second solutions for busy women to re-engage with various casualties of life and so nurture a rich soul. Anne also explores obstacles to soul enrichment such as guilt and self-sabotage.

"The price we pay for excellent time management training can sometimes be the soul enrichment we then neglect."

This book is collated wisdom from the author's family, friends and acquaintances, and from her own life's journey. For over 25 years, Anne has been fascinated by the journey that women travel in business and in the professions - with juggling acts often at circus-level proficiency. Anne tells the stories of a number of these women - sharing both their successes and their struggles.
TIME POOR SOUL RICH combines a light-hearted and whimsical tone with a serious look at the issues that challenge the well-being of professional women.

"There is nothing quite like this book, offering hope and wisdom to busy working women..."

• Kara Martin, Associate Dean, Marketplace Institute, Ridley College

"I am often distracted by the feeling of being committed to everything but doing nothing well. Anne has provided a rich resource to replenish, nurture and integrate our 'self' with the amazing capacity we, professional women, deploy every day."

• Claire Rogers, Senior Banking Executive and Director.

"For the first time, I have found a fabulous new book which captures in an easy-to-read format two of the greatest passions in my life - the development of women as leaders plus answers to the topic of how do we nourish our souls? Every woman who is a worker, every family who support and encourage the woman leaders in their midst and every employer of women and men will find this more like a road map for life than a book. Anne Winckel's Time Poor, Soul Rich provides readers with practical ways to navigate through the challenges of modern living, I recommend you get the book so you can unlock a powerhouse of wisdom into your life."

• Wendy Simpson OAM, Chairman Wengeo Group Pty Ltd, Australian Businesswomen's Hall of Fame Inductee.

"Anne has written a deeply engaging and personal book that is warm, optimistic and full of whimsy and humour. Any busy professional (men too!) will almost certainly recognise themselves in the real-life stories recounted by Anne. A dose of TPSR is uplifting; you will put the book down with a smile on your face, ready to face the world."

• Fiona Patrick, Company Director and Management Consultant.
