Achieve work-life balance for ultimate happiness

"If you're someone looking to achieve a sense of balance and fulfillment in your life, The Happiness Purpose can provide you with useful insights and actionable tips.

Description

First published in 1977, this extraordinarily prescient book sets out de
Bono's method for achieving the ultimate 21st century goal: work-life
balance. Defined in terms of life-space and self-space, de Bono invites the
reader to look at their life and measure the gap between these spaces--the
smaller the gap, the greater our chances at happiness; but if the life-
space is vastly bigger than the self-space, our coping ability is
compromised and anxiety is likely. For anyone concerned with happiness and
life-fulfilment this book is essential reading, and is perhaps more
resonant with readers now than ever before.
