The Hard Work Myth: How to Achieve More and Work Less Hard
Categories: Business & Money, Self-Help
In The Hard Work Myth (2019), entrepreneur Barnaby Lashbrooke, chief executive of the virtual assistant service Time Etc, argues that long hours rarely lead to success. After years of burnout that damaged his health and nearly derailed his business, he studied the habits of successful entrepreneurs and the psychology of productivity, and he caps his week at 35 hours. Chapters cover distractions, a healthier information diet, using fear as a force for good, knowing what to work on, delegation, hiring and the power of tiny changes.
