Who's In Charge - Attacking the Stress Myth
You Are Not Doomed To Spend
Your Life Managing Your Stress

Finally! A book that challenges the very underpinnings of how we look at stress, power and personal responsibility.

Who’s In Charge?
Think you’re in charge of your life? Have you ever said, “He made me mad” or “My job stresses me out” or “I’m under a lot of stress”? If so, then you’re not in charge. Dr. Sheperd will help you regain control.

This Book Attacks the Stress Myth
For years poorly informed stress “experts” have spread the misconception that stress exists outside of you. They have even created silly paper-and-pencil tests to measure life’s “stressors.” Their advice is that you must learn to try to manage your stress like you try to manage a pack of wild dogs. Dr. Sheperd disagrees!
Dr. Scott Sheperd has written a funny, logical, touching and hopeful book that will give you a totally new insight into the popular concept of stress. This is a book that will help you:

Rethink how you look at stress - and your own role in it
Raise your awareness level on what you are doing that could be making life more difficult
Develop techniques to avoid giving away your power
Understand that the way you view stress affects both your work and home life
Quit fighting to stay miserable
Implement strategies to keep “Professional Negative” people from pulling you down
Realize that power is about choices; if you don’t see the choices, you don’t have the power
Acknowledge the importance of the words you use to describe your situations
Identify the importance of courage in moving forward with your life
Switch from just making a living to embracing the art of living
Learn what you must do to see the world with new eyes

About the Author

Dr. Scott Sheperd has spent more than 40 years working with people who are in difficult situations ranging from terminal illness to high-pressure jobs. He has worked extensively with people dealing with cancer, HIV-AIDS, alcoholism and other life threatening illnesses. He has learned much from the people he has worked with and wants to pass on this knowledge to others coping with any of life’s many issues.
Dr. Sheperd has also conducted workshops and seminars for professionals in the fields of business, healthcare and education. He regularly speaks to all types of groups, ranging from corporations to human service agencies to schools to various types of support groups. Some of his subject matter includes stress, change, conflict, communication, and loss. Dr. Sheperd’s approach in his presentations and his books is to challenge readers/listeners to accept responsibility for their words and actions. Even more importantly he gives them strategies to improve the quality of their lives.
In addition to his work with various groups, Dr. Sheperd has also authored and co-authored a variety of publications. Dr. Sheperd is the author of What Do You Think of You?- a book to help young people improve their self worth; The Survival Handbook For the Newly Recovering- a book focusing on helping newly recovering alcoholics and drug addicts stay sober; I Will Live Today and The Healing Journey (both with Judith Garrison)-books for people dealing with life threatening illnesses; Choosing the Gift - dealing with the loss of a loved one (with photographs by Agnes Barnes) - a beautiful 4-color hardback gift book to help someone deal with the death of a loved one. He is a jazz pianist and has also produced a musical play, titled “The Journey,” which focuses on the power of the human spirit. He also has produced a DVD called “Why Crawl When You Can Soar” which includes 15 original musical pieces by Dr. Sheperd interspersed with his thoughts on rising above the problems we face. He also wrote “The Power of Hope” a musical composition focusing on the courage of those in Darfur that was choreographed by French choreographer Valerie Miquel and danced by her company in Kampala, Uganda.
