Description
This is a book that shows how slowing down, switching off and creating space in our lives is good for both our health and our productivity. In a world that is more connected than ever comes unprecedented rates of depression, anxiety and stress related to constantly being 'switched on' both physically through technology and psychologically in our work and personal life behaviours. With studies showing a constantly switched on culture effecting the social development of children, the mental health of teenagers and burnout being experienced in working adults, this book dispels the guilt that comes with taking time for yourself and shows how simple it is to switch between being 'on' and taking much needed breaks to re-energise and re-focus. Essentially this book encourages people to take a step back from their busy lives to harness the power of perspective and focus.
