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.

Critics Review

  • Grace is the inspiring, young entrepreneur energy that we need in our lives.

    Glamour

  • Serves some serious inspiration for the business-minded.

    Bustle

  • Offers a fresh take on how to create your own balance, be more productive and feel fulfilled in the high-pressure social media age.

    Cosmopolitan

  • 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.

    EMMA GANNON, author of The Multi-Hyphen Method

  • Essential reading for anyone who takes their working life seriously.

    Anna Codrea-Rado, author & co-host of Is This Working?
