Overview

Forget the grind. We can create sustainable success without exhaustion—in fact, we’re more likely to succeed if we know when to stop working.

We’ve been sold a broken version of work-life balance—one that assumes that busyness is the same as productivity and that resting is a weakness.

Drawing insights from neuroscience, productivity research, and decades of experience in business, Briggs gives you a system for optimizing productivity and quality of life sustainably by knowing when not to work.

You can multiply success while having a happy, healthy, engaged team who is in it for the long term. Forget the grind. With this book, you’ll all work less, be happier, and still be more productive!
