Coping with worry and stress

Join us on Wednesday, May 15, for our last meeting until September. Michael Clarkson is our speaker and will be talking to us about coping with worry and stress.

Michael Clarkson has been studying stress and fear for 25 years and has produced his own formula for coping with stress — Hyper Flow, which taps into fight or flight for increased production at work. He has authored seven books, including Quick Fixes for Everyday Fears, and has produced important projects on writer J. D. Salinger and pianist Glenn Gould. Clarkson ended a long journalism career, lastly with the Toronto Star, in which he twice won the National Newspaper Award and was twice nominated for a Michener Award for public service. Hollywood has bought a treatment of his feature film on work-life balance, which focuses on his life in a backyard fort.
