About this listen
The way we work has changed. We need new tools to help navigate this world of work – not only to achieve career success, but to stay sane while doing so – and this book can be one of them.
Our jobs can become such an important part of our identity that we walk the treacherous line between loving our work and speeding towards burnout. An always-on culture, the cult of busyness and blurred boundaries mean that work and life can become seriously out of balance.
So if you are burnt out, anxious, feel like an impostor or caught in a cycle of procrastination, this life-changing book contains all the advice you need to restore your balance and get back on track.

In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we’re searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won’t find what we’re searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost - we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile.

Hurry is the new normal. When someone asks us how we’re doing, we tell them that we’re "good...but busy." We want to achieve our dreams and live a significant life, so we cram our calendars with nonstop activities. Instead of feeling fulfilled, we’re distracted, exhausted, and overwhelmed. We have too much to do and not enough time. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Garland Vance knows how you feel. In Gettin’ (un)Busy, he shares how he nearly burned out while leading a nonprofit, having a family, and working on his doctorate in leadership and spiritual formation.
