Thought I didn’t need a book to do noth

This book should be required reading for every high strung workaholic like me. I’ve read the top 5 books on burnout and how to do nothing and this one delivers the most clear and tangible system to finally deeply relax. Really glad I didn’t try to do this one my own because: 1. I didn’t realize until I listened to this book that I knew NOTHING about relaxation and well.. doing nothing haha. 2. Chandler takes surprisingly complicated topics and boils them down so simply in ways I never thought of. I use his S.A.D system daily to instantly rid myself of guilt and shame around productivity. But most importantly this book was laugh out loud entertaining! He manages to make the science and ancient philosophy around playing and relaxation something I looked forward to listening to daily. I loved the audio version so much that I bought the paperback copy for myself and a couple close friends. I needed something tangible to highlight and refer back to. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that the narrator is AMAZING. I love it when a narrator sounds like a voice actor. Sort of reminded me of the narrator from Harry Potter.

New Perspective

Wow, I totally needed this. This book has given me a chance to do some self-inventory and I realize that I am at risk for burn out. I plan on implementing the concepts and ideas from this book into my daily living. If you need valid reasons to deliberately slow down your life, take a listen. It’ll change the way you live!

Wow, No wonder lol

God knows I’m not lazy and used to work tirelessly for my goals but I would always find myself exhausted, burnt out with little progress and I never knew why! What would seriously frustrate me the most was my business partner (my husband) who has always took his time, literally do less and would somehow achieve 10x more than me. I would be like seriously??? I get up way earlier than him and am more productive than him, WHY?! But after listening to this audible book, the truth was revealed as to why. This book taught me another way of achieving my dreams and goals that actually feels so much better, much more effective and intentional with presence which paradoxically helped me achieve more in shorter time with little to no effort. After listening to this incredible book, I am now able to gain weight, my hair and skin is healthier, I’m happier, my relationships are better, my communication is more effective and I’m able to provide much more intentional value to others in the world. If you want to wake up and snap out of the struggle of hustle, listen to this book and I promise you you’ll be more effective and happier.

Highly evolved!!

Clear and articulate delivery of detailed advice and observations. Technically, this work is as professional as it gets. The concepts presented here are well researched and make a strong case. From a critical point of view, being organized and stretched just to make the magic 3 hours tends to water down some key points.

Doing Nothing Can be a good thing

This book really makes you think about how we think if we are not busy, we will not be successful or get things accomplished. After reading this book you will see that is the opposite of how it should be. Making time for yourself, destressing from life makes it easier for you to mentally plan things better in your mind. We are creatures of habit that think this is how life is supposed to be but when you read how doing the opposite can help you feel more organized and relaxed, you will wish you started these changes much earlier. I know I did. Make time to read this, you will be glad you did.

It appeals to me

Both the script and the narrator are Amazing ; I felt as if the narrator was speaking directly to me, encouraging me to stop trying so hard to please others and to focus more on myself in order to prevent burnout. This is my favorite burnout-related passage from the book: "The main challenge with overachievers is that the focus on mastering their external world while neglecting their internal needs. Just like a frog in boiling water, this is a very gradual process that doesn’t appear harmful at first." The book is chock-full of experiments and anecdotes that back up what he claims.

Very thought provoking

I used to think successful professionals are the ones who are always going at 75 mph trying to make things happen. Listening to this book help me better understand the pitfalls I made that lead me to feeling burn out. I remember when I first started working, I didn't take any vacation for 3 years. I was always on the move. In a culture where many people believe that "rest is for the dead", this book is breath of fresh air to remind us all why rest and recovery is important and teach us how to do it guilt-free. I am so glad I found this book!

revitalizing... highly recommended

this book took me in a trip through my memory to search and find the happy self, lost under a ton of worries and long busy unproductive days.
It provide Practical approaches to daily activities that drain me and my love ones from joy and limit ours interactions to sour moments . It make me think, what is really important and what my priorities should be . Goals, family, dreams seems brighter now. Leaves me with a smile and hope to enjoy life again...

Excellent advice!

Every too busy person should read this. Our daily lives are overcome with everything we need to do but giving ourselves time. We need that time. This book lays it all out and ways to give yourself that time even in a busy schedule. The writing style is easy to read and relatable. As with Chandler Kitching's other books it hosts a simple step by step approach that can be done quite easily. A must read if you for the overworked, overwhelmed worker!
