Former Amnesty International Director Lives Through Near Fatal Knife Attack in Beirut and Publishes New Book That Turns Stress on Its Head
James O'Dea directed global giant Amnesty International for ten years, witnessing thousands of horrors and experiencing one such himself in Beirut. Now, flash forward to 2010, O'Dea offers a new book that shows how stress is our teacher and can be used as fuel for happier, more fulfilling lives. The book is a compendium of tools, stories from the field, and a blunt challenge to all of us. It "delivers the medicine for our times" says New York Times Best-selling Author Marianne Williamson.
Boise, CO, May 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- James O'Dea lived through a horrible knife attack that came close to claiming his life. He witnessed and lived virtually through the stories of thousands of people across the globe that have directly experienced the ugliest face of humanity through war, genocide, and the horror of ethnic cleansing and holocaust.
His new book, Creative Stress: A Path for Evolving Souls Living through Personal and Planetary Upheaval, is a monumental toolkit and storybook rolled into one, that offers the reader definitive ways to reshape their relationship with the ubiquitous energy of Stress. It shows the connection between neuroscience's new breakthroughs in explaining our wiring, and how that affects our daily approach to life and to situations that can challenge us. It is packed with experiences and examples of people such as Holocaust Survivors, Vietnam Veterans, and the quiet luminaries who have lived through unspeakable atrocities of man upon man, into lives of service, peace, and an almost tireless space of grace.
Praised by New York Times Bestselling Author Marianne Williamson as "the medicine for our times," Creative Stress is a bold work that goes where most have not yet gone and addresses the poignancy of our current individual lives in relation to all the world's problems, and how we can find peace even amidst turbulent times.
