What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Have you ever felt that you're too much of a perfectionist to be productive? Does the prepackaged advice from experts just not work? Then this is the book for you.
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all productivity plan. The tricks that work for your colleague may not work as well for you. Or perhaps they don't work at all. The fact is that everyone has their own productivity quirks to make them work efficiently and effectively. They just don't know how to crack them.
In this innovative guide, Dr Alice Boyes will help you diagnose your unique productivity profile and give you the framework to formulate a powerhouse personalised system. Drawing on groundbreaking research, countless examples, and quizzes in every chapter, this book will help you be the most growth-oriented, most effective and efficient, and most creative and visionary version of yourself.

Using the latest research on topics like habits, creativity, resilience and emotional health, Boyes has created a guide to productivity that's nurturing, approachable and packed with practical strategies for how you can do your most innovative work and survive your workweek.

Boyes challenges the unhealthy-and simply false-notion that there's a necessary trade-off between productivity and mental well-being. On the contrary, she shows us how to use evidence-based tools to get things done without overworking, pulling our hair out and wearing ourselves down. I've already used several of these tips in my own life and plan to return to them again and again.
Amy Gallo, workplace expert, cohost of HBR's Women at Work podcast, and author of the HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict
-
Boyes shows you how to use self-awareness to advance your career with a practical plan that's tailor-made to your unique situation. Anyone who is fed up with one-size-fits-all guides to productivity should read this book. You'll learn how to be productive in a self-compassionate, creative way that incorporates the best elements of you.
Emma Seppälä, Science Director of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education
