Business psychologist Tony Crabbe outlines a unique four-step approach to combatting one of modern life's great problems: being too busy. So many people feel far too busy - unable to work properly on those goals that are important to them because of all the minor hassles and interruptions that get in the way. In BUSY, highly-regarded psychologist Tony Crabbe puts these deflating feelings into proper context and provides practical solutions. BUSY is divided into four sections. The first, Mastery, shows how to regain a sense of control of your life; the second section, Focus, outlines how to transition toward a career strategy that doesn't necessarily hinge on productivity; the third section, Engagement, shows how to re-engage with the key people, values, and activities that you have previously neglected because you didn't have your priorities in order; and the fourth section, Momentum, is dedicated to creating the impetus, energy and clarity to truly put all these changes into effect. Throughout BUSY, Crabbe draws on pertinent and entertaining psychological studies that build and support his assertions. Crabbe has developed a fresh new approach to taking back one's life from chaotic outside forces. Rarely has a book been more timely in both its scope and in its immediate impact.
Business psychologist Tony Crabbe outlines a unique three-step approach to combating one of the modern life's great problems: being too busy.
So many people feel far too busy—unable to work properly on the things that are important to them and stuck in a rut. This book, written by a well-connected business psychologist, puts that feeling in context and provides practical solutions for people to become happier, more motivated and more successful. If you want to take control of your career—and your life—make sure you're not too busy to read to this book.
Today's world is one of too much: too much work to do, too much communication, too much competition, too much uncertainty and too much information. We are striving to keep up, but inevitably we're falling behind, leaving us with a nagging sense of failure that is hard to shake off.
In Busy, Tony Crabbe debunks the myth that satisfaction at work comes from getting everything done.
Instead, he demonstrates that what will enable you to thrive is regaining a sense of mastery over your life, focusing on making an impact, engaging with loved ones and creating the momentum necessary to make changes.
Busy is divided into three digestible sections—Mastery, Differentiation, and Engagement—that will teach readers how to switch from managing time to managing attention, how to transition toward a career strategy that doesn't hinge on productivity, how to think differently about success by re-engaging with what matters, and how to create the impetus, energy, and clarity to put all these changes into effect. Crabbe draws on entertaining psychological studies to show why we're getting it wrong at the moment and to develop a fresh new approach to taking back one's life from chaotic outside forces.
