		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people talk about work-life balance, meaning balancing a challenging career with other life issues, especially family and raising children.  However, recently, all of my conversations have gravitated toward work-stress balance where many people are considering switching careers, shifting to part-time work, or doing something entirely different due to an overabundance of stress.
