Synopsis

Stop stressing and learn to chill with this mindfulness and meditation guidebook that can help workaholics and others let go of anxiety and achieve and maintain the healthy work/life balance they need.We all know good health and happiness depends on having proper balance between our professional and private lives. But in today’s hectic work environment, in which we must do more in less time with fewer resources, that goal can feel impossible to attain. We stay late at the office rather than being home with our families. We work into the night and on weekends to perfect that presentation or just catch up, rather than relaxing with a hobby or spending time with our friends. Under constant pressure to over-perform, work easily becomes the dominant force in our lives. Licensed psychotherapist and professor Bryan Robinson understands the demands we face. He also knows that it’s difficult to stop the cycle of over-work. But there is a solution. In #Chill, Robinson explains how ending the cycle of work addiction can be achieved by reframing priorities and cultivating mindfulness in our daily lives. He provides a month-by-month guide with meditations that help center and soothe us, allowing us to step back, close our eyes, take a long breath, and focus on the moment. Filled with wise advice, inspiring quotes, and gentle guidance, #Chill gives us the tools we need to quiet our anxiety, break our addiction to work, and bring compassion, calm, confidence, and creativity into our daily existence—and at last, have the peaceful, balanced life we all deserve.

Here’s another bad habit. Fix that too.” An example, from page 250: “Work dysmorphia is a skewed perspective of your work......more

This book has some great gems of wisdom and insight, and would probably great for someone to spend their recommended five minutes a day with. But to sit down and read cover to cover, it’s more annoying than helpful. Definitely a book you’re meant to spend a few minutes with each day (it’s even divid......more

I listened to this and found the ideas very valuable. One idea that I liked: Daily, set three goals in FOUR categories: 1) personal 2) work 3) family and 4) play. Similarly, another idea that I liked was have a "to-do" list and have a "to-be" list. My job contributes to my quality of life. However, I......more
