Customer Reviews

Great tool for more energy and focus at work!

This is a great little book to keep in your desk drawer at work. Both as a performance coach and an employer, I highly recommend putting a copy in your break room. In a fast-paced office, how better to use 5 minutes of an employee's time to help them get re-focused, re-energized and re-engaged? Give new meaning to taking a coffee break - using the time to refuel your whole self so you have more to give to the work in front of you. Not all of the situations may apply to everyone (I hope not!) - such as difficult coworkers and tyrannical bosses - but within the 100 mediations and exercises there is definitely something for everyone. A great little tool to decrease chaos and stress and increase fulfillment and productivity at work. Mollie Marti, Ph.D., J.D. Author, Selling: Powerful New Strategies for Sales Success
