Skupiasz się na tym, aby cały czas żyć ?pełnią? życia. Tylko czy to twoje życie faktycznie jest takie pełne? Czy aby przypadkiem za bardzo się nie rozdrabniasz?Posłuchaj, co ma ci do powiedzenia Stew Friedman, profesor Wharton School, kt�ry doradza liderom z całego świata. Friedman walczy z błędną koncepcją r�wnowagi między pracą a życiem, szukając dla niej bardziej realistycznej, zr�wnoważonej i sensownej alternatywy. Twierdzi, że przeciwstawianie sobie pracy i życia świadczy o niezrozumieniu jednego z bardzo ważnych aspekt�w naszego człowieczeństwa, a mianowicie związk�w i zależności występujących między czterema gł�wnymi sferami naszej egzystencji. Te sfery to życie zawodowe, życie rodzinne, życie społeczne oraz życie prywatne.Friedman uważa, że aktywności w tych sferach nie należy postrzegać jako wzajemnie wykluczających się, lecz należy dążyć do ich harmonijnej integracji. Na potwierdzenie swoich tez przytacza życiorysy sześciu wyjątkowych os�b: byłego dyrektora generalnego Bain & Company oraz wsp�łzałożyciela Bridgespan Group, Toma Thierneya, dyrektor operacyjnej i bestsellerowej autorki Sheryl Sandberg, znanej osobistości świata non profit, a zarazem komandosa US Navy SEAL, Erica Greitensa, Pierwszej Damy Stan�w Zjednoczonych, Michelle Obamy, piłkarki i eksperta telewizyjnego, Julie Foudy, oraz znanego muzyka Bruce?a Springsteena. Każda z tych wyjątkowych ? choć pod wieloma względami r�wnież niedoskonałych ? postaci posiada zbi�r pewnych konkretnych umiejętności, kt�rym zawdzięcza sw�j autentyzm i innowacyjność.Książka zawiera dziesiątki ćwiczeń opracowanych na podstawie wynik�w badań w zakresie psychologii organizacji i dziedzin pokrewnych, kt�re mogą stać się źr�dłem inspiracji, wiedzy i wniosk�w, dzięki kt�rym stworzysz sobie takie życie, jakiego faktycznie chcesz.
