Publisher's summary

"All of us have Seven Slices in our lives: our Family Slice, our Professional Slice, our Personal Slice, our Physical Slice, our Intellectual Slice, our Emotional Slice, and our Spiritual Slice. These all need to be served in some fashion - and in serving them, they, in turn, serve us." This concept is at the heart of the method executive coach David McNeff has used to transform the lives and careers of his clients. It begins with two important facts: 1) Stress happens - you can't avoid it; and 2) Your existence is composed of far more than "work" and "life".

Too often, we divide our lives into those two general categories, but we're all a lot more complex than that. By being clear and mindful of all aspects of your life - the Seven Slices - you'll be more likely to find inner harmony when stress impacts one of them. In The Work-Life Balance Myth, McNeff takes you on a deep dive into each of the Seven Slices, explaining the components of each Slice, signs that you may not be attending to each Slice in a healthy way, and hands-on methods for accessing an underserved Slice.

The Work-Life Balance Myth will provide you with proven new ways of framing your life, seeing stress for what it is, and vastly improving your ability to navigate the emotional challenges that will inevitably arise in a way that serves your Seven Slices.

Very practical

Easy to understand with a lot of self reflective methods. I would highly recommend if you're looking for more balance in your life.

Be prepared for a religious focused talk

Focuses A LOT on religion and makes it out that each scenario/person was lack religious focus and once they focused on it, it remarkably “fixed” their balance.
