What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
We all know the pressure of feeling like we should be grinding 24/7 while simultaneously being told that we should 'just relax' and take care of ourselves, like we somehow have to decide between success and sanity. But in today's complex working world, where every hobby can be a hustle and social media is the lens through which we view not only others but also ourselves, this seemingly impossible choice couldn't be further from our reality.
In Working Hard, Hardly Working, entrepreneur and self-proclaimed 'lazy workaholic' Grace Beverley challenges this unrealistic and unnecessary split, and offers a fresh take on how to create your own balance, be more productive and feel fulfilled.
Includes practical advice on:
· The life-changing art of the to-do table: perfect your productivity method and do more of what you love
· Making your routine work for you: optimise your habits and reap the benefits
· Getting into and managing your flow: boost your creativity and enjoy your everyday
· Engaging in effective self-care: how stepping back will help you move forwards
Insightful, curious and refreshingly honest, Working Hard, Hardly Working will make you reflect on what you want from your life and work - and then help you chart your path to get there.

Pinpoints and unpacks the confusing and impossible messages we are all fed about modern work, how we are supposedly meant to be "nailing" all areas of our life all at once. I'm a big advocate of defining success for yourself, which is exactly what this book helps readers do.

Essential reading for anyone who takes their working life seriously.
Anna Codrea-Rado, author & co-host of Is This Working?
-
As she makes clear in her excellent new book, Working Hard, Hardly Working: How to Achieve More, Stress Less and Feel Fulfilled - which she characteristically wrote while running two businesses - twentysomethings are in fact far more obsessed with productivity than their predecessors. And it's not always healthy.
The Times

A new blueprint for our current work environment ... Beverley's book investigates what it means to truly work hard and why we feel that unless we're up working till 2 a.m. and not getting enough sleep, we're not working hard enough.
