'At a time when we are paying a heavy price for the collective
delusion that being plugged in 24/7 is an express elevator to the
top, The Off Switch reminds us that there is an alternative. Mark
Cropley shows that intentionally switching off from work is not
only essential for our well-being, it also allows for the unwinding
and renewal that help us perform at our best when we switch back
on.' Arianna Huffington Work better not longer- learn how to be
more productive by switching off from work in the evenings,
worrying less and facing the new working day fresh, full of energy
and ambition. Work is a big part of our lives, but it's easier than
ever to let it take over. Laptops, tablets and smartphones that are
supposed to free us from the office actually bind us to it. If
you've ever felt stressed as you checked your work email in the
evenings, or found yourself unable to sleep worrying about
tomorrow's meeting, then this is the book for you! Learning to
flick THE OFF-SWITCH when you leave work is essential- not only for
your sanity but also for your job. If you can learn to relax and
rest effectively when you're not at work, you can then get more
done when you're in the office. It's a win-win solution! In this
unique book, Professor Mark Cropley, a world expert in how we
recover from the working day, blends engaging real-life case
studies, clinical expertise and evidence-based techniques to
provide a complete guide for how to switch off better - get more
enjoyment from your free time, and still get more done.
The AHA moment, or the eureka experience, is a moment of profound
insight into our own lives which we can all reach. It usually
happens when we stop mentally struggling, when we're open to new
ways of seeing, and it can change your life and the lives of
others. In section one of this book, Mike George deals with seven
myths about the stresses and problems of life, showing that we are
responsible for ourselves. In section two he provides seven
essential insights into your self, and in section three he gives
seven moments of action and transformation.
