The Balance EquationBy Glenn Newson & Peter Hazelrigg
What do you do when there are too many things to do? For many professionals, the demands of work and life continue to expand as their careers advance. The ability to find a way to both manage the expanding scope and responsibilities of life and to also feel fully engaged eludes most. However, some have figured it out and solved this problem.
The Balance Equation is informed by the authors' work with thousands of busy, successful people with too much to do. It's an examination and thoughtful analysis of those who have struggled to manage it all, and those who have developed ways to make it all work. It's a guide for people who want to create both success and satisfaction in their life and work. It's a framework for those who want to find a way to live an impactful, meaningful, fulfilled life without sacrificing their sleep, health, relationships, or well-being. Like a tricky math problem, the solution isn't always obvious; but for those who are willing to examine the variables, structure the steps, and do the work, the balance equation can be solved. |
