Micro-Resilience

Minor Shifts for Major Boosts in Focus, Drive, and Energy

De: Bonnie St. John, Allen P. Haines, Bonnie St. John - introduction

Narrado por: Allen P. Haines

Learn powerful, science-based techniques to boost focus, drive and energy hour-by-hour throughout the day -- every day.

As leadership consultants and executive trainers, Bonnie St. John and Allen P. Haines have heard the same complaints from clients for years; periodic burnout, lack of focus and low energy. So they dug into the latest research on neuroscience, psychology and physiology looking for big answers. Instead they found small answers; proof that small adjustments in daily routines, including thought patterns, food and drink, rest and movement can fight the forces that sap our energy and store focus and drive. They call these amazing efficient restorative techniques "micro-resilience." Thousands of men and women from all walks of life have already found effortless ways to incorporate these little changes into the busiest of schedules. Dozens of entertaining anecdotes from real people using micro-resilience demonstrate that when our brains fire faster, our energy increases and we can cope with almost any surprise, pressure or crisis.

Practical and Ready to Use on Day 1

There are so many practical and easy to follow tips on this book. It has become one of my go-to sources for self-care.

Disappointing

Very monotone narrator. The information in the book is somewhat common sense and very verbose. Major helpful tips included making checklists for streamlining your life, not just daily to-do lists. A new idea was the concept of joy kits. Much of the other suggestions including drink more water, be optimistic, etc were not new ideas.
