Crystal Chains

About the Book

Human beings go through different stages in the functional areas of their lives: professional, recreational, social, psychological, spiritual, intellectual, and physical. Achieving balance in these areas can make us feel fully developed. The Crystal Chains book series will discuss and analyze some of the obstacles that prevent us from achieving this balance. In this first book, Crystal Chains: In the Workplace, we can see how mental chains (negative actions, gossip, etc.) may make us shine bright as a crystal, giving the illusion of apparent success and recognition in the workplace. As time goes by, they bind and inhibit us and act as barriers that limit and prevent growth in many areas of our lives. In the same way, we will show you ways to break these chains, if that is your choice, so that the brightness that is projected in your work life persists through time.
