Rave reviews for Dr. Bourg Carter's newest book,
High Octane Women!
"This is a practical, useful guide; hopefully, corporate women won't be too stressed out to read it." Publisher's Weekly (click link to see full review)
"If you are a superachiever, you may think you don't even have time to read a book -- or protect your health from the rigors of your jam-packed daily schedule. However, if you're bordering on burnout, chances are your stress levels are frequently off the chart and your mental health and well-being are at risk. High-Octane Women (Prometheus Books, November 2010), written by psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter, is your guide to staying ambitious and successful as you prevent stress-induced meltdowns. This isn't a book on how to devote all of your energies to the ultra-busy side of your life; it's an invaluable tool to help you achieve balance to enjoy a truly fulfilling and healthy life."--Michele Borboa, MS, SheKnows.com
"Loved it! The book has helped me develop a new, healthier perspective toward life--choosing between what's truly essential and what is mere clutter. A must-read for all of us who juggle a million roles and expect to succeed at all of them."--Maria M. Schneider, Assistant State Attorney in charge of the Juvenile Division for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of Florida
"Wow! A complete and life-transforming journey of enlightenment, recognition, solutions, and relief! As an entrepreneur working alone in a home office, I was surprised to learn that I an a high octane woman. I found answers to questions I've had for many years and now feel supported and validated. Dr. Bourg Carter's book is a must-read for all women working in or outside the home and is a great support tool for their families as well.
