For anyone who struggles to balance life, family and career while communicating without conflict, At the End of the Day is a must-read book.
Gasping and clutching his chest on the floor of a French hotel room, Lewis Senior - the workaholic, who later went on to co-found the international coaching company Equilibria - believed he'd taken his last breath on earth. On that day he made a bargain, vowing that if given another chance, he would change everything about his life that had brought him to this moment of crisis.
In a story about one life changing instance, you will discover that:
- unhappiness is a choice,
- suffering is optional, and
- circumstances are meaningless,
But how you choose to respond makes all the difference.

About the Authors
Lewis M. Senior is the co-CEO of Equilibria, a global coaching company focusing on effective communication, applied leadership, personal and team development, and risk management and mitigation. Formerly, Lewis spent 29 years with the world's largest oil-drilling company. Tapped to be the drilling company's spokesperson and representative to 18,000 employees located all over the world, Lewis took on a grueling schedule that led to the physical and emotional breakdown detailed in At the End of the Day. How he was forced to face his choices - and change them for the better - is the core of the story he wants to tell. It is a story for anyone who ever thought he had it all and yet could never seem to find the right work life balance.
Laura Senior Garcia is Equilibria's Product Development Manager, a senior coach, and Lewis' daughter. Laura joined Equilibria at 19. Since then, she has been on a continuous learning journey, acquiring a vast amount of experience and key skills that have enabled her to become a lead member of the Equilibria Executive Management Team. Her duties include everything from worldwide facilitation of seminars to coaching teams to business development. However, it is her personal journey that became one of the inspirations for At the End of the Day. How Laura, with her father's coaching, went from being a rebellious, resentful teenager to a dynamic, fulfilled young woman is an inspiring example for both parents and their teens.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting trip in the life of a father and daughter
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2012
This is the story or more to the point an adventure of a father who becomes lost and how he is found by a revelation within himself. IT is also how a daughter reacts and feels about the happenings of her father and what it prompts her to do. In many ways both of their perspectives are true of any father/daughter relationship and I find myself reassured that I was not the only person who felt this way. IT is a revelation, and a clever weaving of how all of the thoughts in a family come in the end from the same tree. An interesting book and a remarkable take on life.
