Kathleen Hall (born 12 August 1951) is an expert in stress, mindful living and mindfulness. She started her career in finance working at the World Trade Center in New York. After working on Wall Street, she made a decision to leave power, wealth and corporate stress behind her. Martha Stewart dubbed her the ''Stress Queen''—who specializes in stress management, mindful living, and work life balance. John J. Ratey called her the ''midwife'' to a movement—Mindful Living. She established ''Oak Haven'', a 300-acres farm in Clarkesville, Ga. in 1988, and built a health, education, and training center called ''The Hermitage.'' It also serves as a horse farm and a retreat for wildlife and abandoned/shelter dogs and cats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://forum-network.org/lecture/how-working-women-can-manage-stress )〕 In A Life in Balance: Nourishing the Four Roots of True Happiness, she wrote about her journey from working on Wall Street to creating an institute for mind-body, complementary medicine. This book won the 2007 Nautilus Book Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nautilusbookawards.com/The_Nautilus_Library.html )〕 == Education & Training == Hall received her Masters of Divinity from Emory University and a Doctorate in Spirituality from Columbia Theological Seminary. She also has a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Jacksonville State University. Hall studied the effects of stress under medical pioneers such as Herbert Benson at the Harvard Mind/Body Institute, Dean Ornish of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute and Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Stress Reduction Center. She received tutelage in spirituality from Nobel Peace Prize recipients including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Bishop Desmond Tutu and President Jimmy Carter. Throughout this journey, she worked with high-risk inner city children and at the Atlanta Day Shelter for battered women and children; facilitated cardiac rehabilitation programs; counseled and comforted the sick and dying; was involved in hospice care; and continued to explore the concept of science meeting soul. John St. Augustine included a chapter about her in his book on 21 extraordinary people. In 1997, she founded Wellness Solutions, now called The Stress Institute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stressinstitute.com )〕 Many corporations, including Microsoft〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2006/apr06/04-13Pause2PlayPR.mspx )〕 and Electronic Arts, Inc.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://investor.ea.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=314004 )〕 recognized her as an authority in her field and asked her to be a corporate spokesperson on stress management. Hall's ability to entertain, educate, and enlighten people (from Los Angeles to London) placed her in the spotlight as a stress expert. Her media appearances include being on CNN, Fox News, Dr. Oz, Martha Stewart's Body and Soul, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, New York Times, WebMD, Huffington Post, TEDMED〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tedmed.com/greatchallenges/challenge/302?ref=live-chat )〕 and many more. She penned her second book, Alter Your life, a candid view on mindful living that requires no doctrines or trekking off to distant lands. She was featured in a book by Larry Dossey. Hall had a traumatic brain injury and near death experience in 2009, when a car operated by a distracted driver struck her as she was crossing a street in Beverly Hills. After being away from the limelight, Hall emerged with her third book entitled ''Uncommon H.O.P.E.'', which is a prescription on how to enjoy a rich life of mindful living. The book was largely finished before her accident but was published a year later—awaiting for her final edits. Her new book is entitled ''Mindful Living Everyday'', which is a revised and updated edition based on her 1995 book, ''Alter Your Life''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kathleen Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
