Double Win

We all start our careers with good intentions. But as stress and pressure at work mount, many of us fall into the hustler's fallacy. We tell ourselves: if I just push a little harder, I can handle it. But no matter how hard we work, our responsibilities always get ahead of us.

We work more and sleep less, we solve problems at the office and constantly create them at home, we go to more and more meetings and miss more and more family dinners and get-togethers with friends. We assume that eventually we will be able to take a break and focus on our health and relationships. But 'eventually' soon becomes a synonym for 'never'.

Once some people discover this unpleasant truth, they slam the brakes on their ambition. But this choice also comes at a price. We end up with untapped potential, lower income, and other losses. Stress and insane working hours no longer crush our health or personal lives, but unfulfilled professional dreams and ambitions can crush our souls just as much.

Is there another solution? Is it possible to have time for a career, relationships, and even for yourself? It is possible, and that is exactly what this book is about: how to win at work and succeed in your personal life at the same time.
