• A new look at stress as a symptom of the provisional life
• An antidote to mechanical living

A World Weary Woman is one whose characteristic response to stress is to struggle to achieve ambitious goals. To achieve means to succeed at some-thing that is recognized and rewarded by the collective. However, she feels little joy in the process, suffering a disconnection from her feminine body wisdom and her creativity. Her task is to find a way of living authentically that allows her to express what awakens her heart. Many Type A women are World Weary. They are seekers. It is this soulful quest for further development that informs their progression. World Weary Woman is not content to live mechanically. The provisional life exhausts her and she knows it. She must detach from who she has been, in order to discover who she is meant to be.
