Life Crisis

Just get out and switch off! In a hectic world full of stress, crises and negative influences, it is more important than ever to find moments of peace and relaxation. Music has the power to positively influence our emotions, relieve tension and calm the soul. Particularly gentle sounds in the natural 432 Hz frequency can help to reduce stress, find inner balance and recharge your batteries. My specially composed relaxation music combines gentle piano and harp melodies embedded in the sounds of nature, such as the calming sound of the sea, babbling brooks and birdsong.

The crisis of unfulfilled lives unfolds gradually, often with acquiesced boredom and a flimsy search for purpose. Our relevancy comes into question, or we succumb to the idea that the future will be one of slow-moving ambition and then an even slower glide into comfort as the flush of freedom fades. We can change this outcome if we want to. We should want to. The 60-Something Crisis: How to Live an Extraordinary Life in Retirement is the first book to circumvent the tired approaches of finding purpose, or using reinvention to discover a path of fulfillment after sixty.
