A powerful guide to personal renewal, showing the way to greater
happiness and productivity at work; a vital resource for all
over-busy people.
Through his years of intensive work consulting to companies
including Procter & Gamble, Sony, Toyota, Microsoft, Ford and
Ernst & Young, with his firm The Energy Project, Schwartz has
developed a powerful program for changing the way we are working
that greatly boosts our engagement and our satisfication with our
work and increases our performance. In this book he marshalls a
wide range of powerful evidence from business research and
psychology that shows that the current model of work -- in which
people are treated essentially as machines that should be able to
perform at top speed for extraordinarily long hours, be able to
multi-task, be always accessible and online, withstand often harsh
and emotionally punishing treatment, and be primarily driven by the
need to make profits -- is not only not optimal, it is specfically
counter-productive because it saps us of our physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual energy. In order for us to perform at our
best, we must make a set of key changes in our work lives -- and in
order to develop the full potential of their work force, our
managers and companies must institute changes that will provide us
with the regular physical renewal, emotional reward, mental focus
and stimulation; and sense of purpose and significance that we
need.
