Quiet Quit & Fully Live: Take Back Your Time, Energy, and Life through Ethical Disengagement (Quiet Living)

Description

Eat, sleep, work, repeat. Ever feel like you live to work, rather than work to live?

I used to do anything my employer asked of me, working late into the night to complete extra projects well outside of my job description. After all, this was what I believed led to financial success. I thought if I do this for long enough, and save up enough money, one day I’ll be rich and free to live as I please.

But after years of static titles and stagnant pay, the birth of my son brought everything into focus. I was spending some of my most valuable time working to build someone else’s dream. I was trading all the experience and memories of my growing family for a little overtime pay at a below-average rate—why?

I knew there had to be a better way. I decided to take full responsibility for my trajectory, sparking a transformation that rippled through both my personal and professional worlds.

In this self-help career manual, I share what took me from burnout to becoming my boss’s boss’s boss, including

• how prioritizing your personal life over work can upgrade your career
• my discoveries about the devastating effects of long-term stress on the brain (and how to use this same mechanism to your advantage)
• the power of setting internal boundaries
• the art of saying “no” without guilt (and why it helps everyone in the long-term)

Challenge the status quo, embrace ethical disengagement as a means of self-preservation and empowerment, and quiet quit in order to fully live!
