Back Page essay in the SF Chronicle Sunday Magazine/APril 1
In the throes of my book launch, I wrote a humorous essay about how I was totally stressed out promoting my book about not getting stressed out. The piece will appear in the SF Chronicle's Sunday magazine on April 1. I enjoyed writing it, because it's very personal and talks about how I used my techniques in the book to get my head on straight. Keep an eye out for it.
