Elizabeth Uviebinené OUR OBSESSION WITH ACHIEVEMENT IS A TRAP.
THIS IS HOW TO BREAK FREE. Emma Gannon had everything she'd longed
for: a string of successful books to her name, a thriving portfolio
career, speaking engagements around the world... She was also
burned out and confused at why she felt unhappy, yet still striving
for more. After taking a deep look at her own journey, and
interviewing many other successful people on her podcast Ctrl, Alt,
Delete, she has realised that our overly celebrated and popular
version of success is making us lonely, unfulfilled and dispirited.
Now she has worked out a way to do things differently. Exploring
the most commonly held myths about what it traditionally means to
be successful, from money to happiness to ticking society's
ready-made boxes, The Success Myth will give you the belief and
tools to walk away from 'having it all'. A manifesto to craft work
(and life) on your own terms, it encourages you to be honest about
what truly sparks your interests, and helps to uncover your
individual path to a truly fulfilling life, whatever that may look
like.

Burkeman, New York Times Bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks
A sensible, kind and useful book about forging a healthier
relationship with social media. - Marian Keyes, Sunday Times
Bestselling author __________ Millennials might have grown up
online but now they want to log off. And it's not just millennials.
A year of lockdowns, Zoom meetings and reduced physical contact has
made us more dependent on the internet than ever before - but has
it lost its humanity? Our focus on community and real connection
has been sent off-course and we're becoming more aware of how the
algorithm manipulates us and how our data has made us a product to
be sold. So, where do we go from here and how can we get back on
track? (Dis)connected examines these topics and offers tangible
tips and advice for those of us who might feel a little lost right
now and want to find themselves again. __________ Emma Gannon is a
cordial and provocative spirit. Read her, listen to her, explore
her world and the world at large through her eyes. Hers is a
journey well worth taking. - Julia Cameron, New York Times
Bestselling author of The Artist's Way
We all have a relationship with self-sabotage, a tendency to put
barriers in the way of our progression and our happiness - at home
and at work, both on and offline. Sabotage is a book about
challenging these behaviours, digging a little deeper into why that
unhelpful voice can creep up on us. Procrastination, jealousy,
inner critic: how can we overcome these obstacles? How do we stop
getting in our own way? Exploring real-life stories of success and
setbacks from leading cultural voices, Emma Gannon searches for
experiences, solutions and ways to look differently at what's
really holding us back. This is the handbook you need to slay your
own sabotage.
For fans of Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies, Tim Ferris's 4-Hour
Work Week and the author and entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk 'It was a
pleasure to read... the way we all work is going to change in the
coming years' Richard Branson The world of work is changing - so
how do you keep up? You have the ability to make money on our own
terms, when and where you want - but where do you start? If you've
been itching to convert your craft into a career, or your
side-hustle into a start up, then The Multi-Hyphen Method is for
you. In The Multi-Hyphen Method award-winning blogger / social
media editor / podcast creator, Emma Gannon, teaches that it
doesn't matter if you're a part-time PA with a blog, or a nurse who
runs an online store in the evenings - whatever your ratio,
whatever your mixture, we can all channel our own entrepreneurial
spirit to live more fulfilled and financially healthy lives. The
internet and our phones mean we can work wherever, whenever and
allows us to design our own working lives. Forget the outdated
stigma of being a jack of all trades, because having many strings
to your bow is essential to get ahead in the modern working world.
We all have the skills necessary to work less and create more, and
The Multi-Hyphen Method is the source of inspiration you need to
help you navigate your way towards your own definition of success.
