A Financial Times Business Book of the Month
Take control of your life and create space to succeed
We’re used to feeling stressed, rushed and overwhelmed. At work and at home there are endless calls on our attention and time. We’re constantly playing catch-up. But if we want to perform optimally, and reach our full potential, we must learn to pause and create space in even the busiest day.
Informed by over a decade of hands-on experience at the most senior levels of business, this book shows how to push back against the tide and create space in your life to think, relate and act on a deeper level. Learning to focus, manage time, and take control of your mental and physical space is the first step in developing and excelling in anything.
This book shows how to do just that, drawing on real-life examples and the best of both classical and cutting-edge psychological and behavioural thinking. Each chapter contains models, tools and tips that have been used effectively in some of the world’s biggest organisations, and which will allow you to set your strategy, raise your productivity and create meaningful change for lasting success.
