THE CHRONOBIOLOGICAL IMPERATIVE

DESCRIPTION
Startling findings about modern-life conflicts with our natural tempos and
bio-rhythms that will have profound impact on our health, finances, work, and lifestyles.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• What do you consider the most provocative finding in the study of chronobiology, and what are the implications?
• As chronobiological change continues, what will be the biggest impact on business?
• As the timing of our life paths are challenged, how will we view puberty, childbirth, and aging differently than before?
