Get a Dog, Don't Work Like One
Think differently about your work-life balance
Jim Banting

This book will inspire you to rethink your work-life balance, unlock new opportunities and challenge norms to enable you to spend more time doing what you want. Our natural equilibrium has been damaged by the pace and demands of the current workplace. By embracing a new mindset, you can get back on to the right career path.

Packed with real-life experiences, case studies, anecdotes and stories, Jim Banting provides practical advice and tips to redesign parts of your life in order to get a life. This includes using technology to get ahead of the curve, learning from failure, delegating, knowing how and when to say “No”, evaluating people differently, and ultimately, how to become self-sufficient. By identifying what makes us really happy, fulfilled and successful, we can work smarter, not harder.

'Few of us get the balance right all the time. This book should help you master that task and help you to achieve a rational balance of work and play' – LUKE JOHNSON, entrepreneur and Chairman of Channel 4 and Risk Capital Partners
