The Power of Doing Less By Fergus O’Connell
In the last 20 years there has been an i n cre d i b l e increase
in
the volume of things people have to do and the stress that
people
are put under. Most of this
increased workload is not by choice, but a direct consequence of the country’s current economic climate, the threat of redundancy, outsourcing and downsizing, meaning people are working increasingly harder in order to prove their worth. Author Fergus O’Connell explains how readers can deal with the massive levels of work they now face and learn how to do less. The book helps readers to recapture the feeling of control, ease and security that was possible in the days before work burnout, sixty-plus hour work weeks and continuous uncertainty became the norm. Packed with practical tips, readers are guided on how to get more from less and manage their time better. O’Connell also highlights the
importance of
learning when and how to say ‘no’ as a key life skill. With lots of entertaining quotes, revolutionary ideas and fun illustrations, this makes for an easy read that will empower you to make positive changes and recapture control of your life.
