Description
Something's about to break, and if we don't change direction soon, it's going to be us.
It doesn't matter in which industry or where: too many of us are overworked, disengaged and apprehensive about the future of work. In his life-affirming new book, bestselling author and founder Tim Duggan argues that we approach work and life the wrong way around.
Fuelled by a powerful realignment that's questioning the way we traditionally think about and interact with our workplaces, in Work Backwards you'll discover:
- Why reversing your thinking can have such an oversized impact
- The four things you need to live a full life right now
- How to easily reset your lifeโwork balance
- How to use tools like remote, hybrid and flexible work properly
- Why this is the right moment to experiment with work
- Expert guidance from the world's leading work and happiness researchers
- A new army of people who are rethinking their relationship with work
Learn valuable, practical tools to work better and live a fulfilled and meaningful life that takes advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity to reverse your thinking and reclaim your life from work.
