Drawing on decades of clinical practice, psychotherapists Dr. Charles B. Beckert and Dr. Derry L. Brinley present the "Hula Hoop Principle"—five skills (coordination, concentration , control, cadence, continuous motion) that keep our lives, like a hoop, in balanced motion. Through real (anonymized) case studies, they map twenty-two character extremes, outline a process of change, and offer thirty-one concrete strategies for regaining peace and harmony. A faith-friendly self-help guide for anyone feeling pulled off-center by life's competing demands. The hula hoop metaphor makes psychological balance memorable and approachable for everyday readers Written by a psychologist and a psychiatrist—real clinical experience, not just theory 31 concrete, try-it-today strategies rather than vague advice Faith-friendly framing that respects LDS/Christian readers while staying practical Perfect for an adult—likely LDS or broadly Christian—who feels overwhelmed and pulled in too many directions and wants practical, faith-friendly tools to regain emotional balance without necessarily entering therapy.
