Shine How To Survive and Thrive At Work Upping your ‘Elvis factor’! By Chris Barez-Brown
Does your job feel like a road to nowhere? Do you take out your daily frustrations on the photocopier or through a good moan with colleagues around the coffee machine? Or do you love what you do and just want to shine that little bit brighter?
SHINE: How to Strive and Thrive at Work is Chris Barez-Brown’s second book and it’s a sparkling gem that will resonate with both those searching for happiness and a sense of purpose in the workplace as well as those all too few of us who already wake up every day excited about the challenges life has in store.
This isn’t a business or lifestyle book like you know it- it’s an ‘in your face’ assembly of eclectic ‘think out loud’ ideas, personal insights, pearls of wisdom and fist pumping aspirational motivation. Call it a kick up the arse if you will but for far too many people, life has just become dull and Chris Barez-Brown is trying to inject some realism back into the world.
The man who brought life to Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference and Nike’s Run the World campaigns, Chris
believes that work should not only be stimulating and exciting it should most importantly be fun.
“I’ve worked with a lot of big organisations and seen lots of people having a shitty time. I get cross that we put up with it. We sit in our little box and count the days away until payday or the next holiday or retirement and really it’s just a pitiful waste of life.”
Creative, energetic and pragmatic, Barez-Brown’s style is both vibrant and engaging, creating the type of energy which he is imploring readers to find when they search for their inner genius. Chris is a man who practices what he preaches, it’s obvious because there’s no way one man could radiate so much energy if he didn’t love doing what he does.
If there’s one book you buy this year I’d urge you to find your inner Elvis and check out Shine.
