Publisher Description
Learn powerful, science-based techniques to boost focus, drive and energy hour-by-hour throughout the day -- every day.
As leadership consultants and executive trainers, Bonnie St. John and Allen P. Haines have heard the same complaints from clients for years; periodic burnout, lack of focus and low energy. So they dug into the latest research on neuroscience, psychology and physiology looking for big answers. Instead they found small answers; proof that small adjustments in daily routines, including thought patterns, food and drink, rest and movement can fight the forces that sap our energy and store focus and drive. They call these amazing efficient restorative techniques "micro-resilience." Thousands of men and women from all walks of life have already found effortless ways to incorporate these little changes into the busiest of schedules. Dozens of entertaining anecdotes from real people using micro-resilience demonstrate that when our brains fire faster, our energy increases and we can cope with almost any surprise, pressure or crisis.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Making changes to your life can be daunting, but Bonnie St. John and Allen P. Haines have some good news: Even the smallest changes can have a big impact. In this thoughtful and relaxing listen, the husband-and-wife duo offer insights about improving your life in little, easily achievable ways. We had no trouble getting our heads around their smart but simple methods, which focus on alleviating common sources of anxiety and stress through easy, practical exercises. A concept that really struck a chord was learning how to break the pattern when you feel yourself getting stressed. Work getting you down? Try keeping a folder of things that make you happy—family snapshots, funny cat videos, a picture of your favorite beach—on your computer’s desktop to reset and refresh yourself. Haines handles the narration, and his calm encouragement makes it easy to binge-listen or to just soak up a few tips a day. You’ll be amazed at what a difference a little Micro-Resilience can make to your happiness.
