Description
'This insightful book is is filled with useful ideas for curing work stress ' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
Whether we like it or not, work is central to our lives. Most of us define ourselves by our work: it gives us a purpose, it enables us to maintain our lives and it puts us often among like-minded people who share and appreciate our skills and achievements. No wonder we feel it is so important. But work can intrude on our lives and unconsciously take over our thoughts, our priorities, and even our coping mechanisms.
In Mind Over Grind, psychologist Guy Winch explains why our inability to disconnect from work can damage our careers, personal lives and emotional health. But you can attain a better work-life balance by changing how you think both at work and at home. Through clear, practical strategies Winch will help you to regain control, change your mindset and be more intentional so that you can excel at work and flourish in your personal life. This is your guide to creating the balanced life you crave.
