(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"An empowering guide that will show you how to shed the myth of the "work-life balance" by merging the seven key components that make up your life to attain harmony and whole-life success "Work-life balance" is a phrase touted by companies and a state of being that each of us strive for, yet never seem to reach. In this eye-opening book, David. J. McNeff reveals that "balance" shouldn't be our end goal. Instead, he takes readers through the 7 different "slices" of life to which we devote our time-and explains that by balancing them, readers can attain greater harmony and success in their lives. Beyond the family and professional realms, there are what McNeff calls The Personal Slice (what you do just for yourself); The Physical Slice (how you take care of your health); The Intellectual Slice (how you feed your curiosity and mind); The Emotional Slice (how you manage your self-esteem and feelings); and The Spiritual Slice (where your faith and beliefs allow you to recognize that you are not alone). In The Work-Life Balance Myth, you will learn how to attain harmony among all seven slices through a powerful method for assessing how much time each slice requires, and appropriately investing in each to reach your own full potential. By understanding each of these essential elements of our lives, David will guides us toward blending them into a seamless whole"--,Provided by publisher.
