Burn Bright

Don't burn out. Burn bright.

10 SIMPLE HABITS TO PERFORM AT YOUR BEST AND LOSE THE STRESS

Are you feeling overwhelmed at work? Is the line between your professional and personal life fading away? If you want to keep achieving without the personal cost, this is the book you need.

Nick Petrie has spent two decades studying sustainable performance in demanding environments, from Fortune 500 businesses to the FBI, elite sports teams and the US Navy SEALs. He has seen countless hard-working professionals wrestle with a trade-off between career success and personal wellbeing. In a global study he led over five years, Petrie and his team discovered a small, remarkable group of individuals – the ‘thrivers’ – who cracked the code to maintaining peak performance without sacrificing their health or happiness.

Learn what the thrivers do differently and how to apply it in your own life:

• Pulse between modes of work instead of grinding in one gear

• Reduce stress by ruminating less

• Find your opposite world – the activities that genuinely recharge you

• Cross your daily Kármán line so work doesn’t follow you home

It’s time to take back control. Don’t burn out. Burn bright.
