A Special Moment in History: Managing Time, Stress, & Health in an Unprecedented Era 
 
The Role of Margin and Balance in Professional Sustainability

 
Life in modern day America is essentially devoid of time and space.  Not the Star Trek kind. The sanity kind. Unprecedented change hangs heavy in the air. Mathematics has slipped its lease and was last seen going vertical. The future looms large, imposing, full of certain blessings yet undeniable threats. In the face of these irreversible cultural forces, it is time to begin taking seriously the issue of guarding our sustainability.
