Overview

Life can be challenging, we have so many commitments to juggle together that there sometimes does not seem to be enough time for both our personal lives and our career development. However, it is possible to achieve an integrated life, in which our personal life strengthens our career and our career strengthens our personal life. Through this, we can load balance the performance as a producer that is expected from us at work, and the performance as a caring and loving person that is expected by the special people in our lives. This book is divided into three sections. Section I - You: Some thoughts on self-development, independent of the workplace. Section II - You and Work: Some thoughts about the way that we interact with the modern work environment. Section III - Work: Some thoughts on optimising the emotional-functional interface in the modern informal workplace. From the foreword "This sensitive commentary on the value of finding meaning in one's work without allowing work to consume us is apt in a modern world where our sabre tooth tigers are the superficiality of memes, reality television and rolling news cycles, which threaten to eliminate our mindfulness of the relationships and values that are so dear and meaningful to us... The author espouses the sense in founding your life in your personal realm with the development of true relationships and personal growth, and then using your inner strengths as an enabler to diversify your skills, balance risk and opportunity and grow from, not just survive change."
