More Great Less Grind

We can't be our best from too much grind. Have you forgotten about yourself while trying to be a best friend, partner, parent, or employee? Or have you been in a work environment that took more out of you than you got back? And is there a constant stream of incoming unpleasant news. All this can feel like a grind. I woke up one day after quietly denying a lot of unhealthy stress that led to burnout and thought there must be a different way to do life than that; there must be a better way. This book is a compilation of 72 easy-to-read, practical Insights on optimizing our human capital from my experiences in high-performance sport, a career in the financial sector, mindfulness, and positive psychology on how to experience more great and less grind"I have enjoyed your weekly insights for many reasons.
