Take Breaks, Work Better - by John Briggs (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Forget the grind. We can create sustainable success without exhaustion--in fact, we're more likely to succeed if we know when to stop working.

We've been sold a broken version of work-life balance--one that assumes that busyness is the same as productivity and that resting is a weakness. In Take Breaks, Work Better, John Briggs teaches small business owners how to break free from these toxic myths, using a science-backed approach to mastering efficiency. Drawing insights from neuroscience, productivity research, and decades of experience in business, Briggs gives you a system for optimizing productivity and quality of life sustainably by knowing when not to work. With personal anecdotes and vivid wit, he shows you how to set and track metrics to keep yourself and your employees accountable--and how to overcome objections and get full buy-in from your team.

Take Breaks, Work Better is no one-size-fits-all approach. Briggs gives you insights and perspectives to tailor his system to your company and all the specific roles in it. You can multiply success while having a happy, healthy, engaged team who is in it for the long term. Forget the grind. With this book, you'll all work less, be happier, and still be more productive!
