"An empowering guidebook to combatting burnout . . . Emily Ballesteros's advice is useful and practical, especially for young workers eager to reclaim their time and energy."--Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better Is dread the first thing you feel when you wake up in the morning?

She offers clear, easy-to-implement tools to help you find greater balance, energy, and fulfillment, showing you how to: * break burnout habits that keep you in a pattern of chronic overwhelm * create sustainable work/life balance through predictable personal care * get more done in less time while creating forward momentum toward a meaningful life * identify and set your personal and professional limits, guilt-free * master your stress and detach from your stressors The Cure for Burnout provides a holistic method for burnout management to address the epidemic of our always-on, chronically overextended culture, empowering us to reclaim control of our own lives once and for all.
 
Mindfulness @ Work book coverMindfulness @ Work by Anna Black
ISBN: 9781782498346
Publication Date: 2020-01-14
By applying the principles of mindfulness to our working lives, we can become aware of our habitual negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to recognize and manage the warning signs of stress, which is an all-too-common part of modern life. The rise of digital media means that many people never really "switch off" from work and the culture of presenteeism means many people spend more time at work than ever before. Many people spend a lot of time either ruminating on previous problems or worrying about future work-related issues. Mindfulness expert Anna Black's simple but effective practices will help you to perform well, minimize stress, and be more productive at work. Anna's suggestions are applicable to both office-based workers and those who work from home and she covers a range of topics including working mindfully with others, paying mindful attention in meetings, and using meditation to cope with stressful situations.
