What to expect

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.

It's unsustainable commercially, draining professionally, depressing personally. It's not much fun.

The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way.

In Busy, Tony Crabbe draws on his background in psychology and work with companies including Disney, Microsoft and News International to debunk the myth that satisfaction in the workplace comes from getting everything done.

Instead, he demonstrates that it is a focus on creativity and attention to detail that will lead to happiness, increased motivation and success.

Crabbe identifies the five major psychological drivers of busyness - helplessness, playing the wrong game, disengagement, fear and aspiration - and provides practical solutions for turning each driver on its head in order to become less busy, more engaged and ultimately happier at work and in your personal life.

So if you want to take control of your career - and your life - make sure you're not too busy to read this book.
