The topic of taking control of life’s crises has been a career-long focus for Bob. He began the five-year task of writing Take Control of Life’s Crises Today! following a medical crisis in his own life as he learned what he needed to improve upon in handling crises. In this book, Bob shares with the reader the wisdom he has gained from 30 years of clinical practice and his own life experiences.
