I got an early copy of Dan Pink's new book, Drive (coming out 29 Dec). It's amazing! It'll totally transform the way you think about motivation at work!Look out for it...

I think the relaxing part is going to be hard. This person has proven to be un-predicatable and I'm finding that I'm walking on eggshells.

:
I kick myself b/c I'm always telling my friends to breathe in stressful situations. I need to remember to do that myself.

I'd suggest a personality assessment like the StrengthsFinder. Figure out what motivates them and how to talk to them.

Regina Twine:
@Sarah Beckley What do you mean reset? I feel like I'm so far behind my peers since I'm not even close to working in my field & I'm worried

Sarah Beckley:
@Regina Reset means dial back expectations to match reality. Dream big, but understand what can realistically be achieved in a year or 5.

Work/ life balance is for people who don't like their work. Why "balance" your work if it includes the sort of people & activities you love?
Cath Duncan:
yes, I agree with u all - be sure to have a good life outside work... but nobody "balanced" ever changed the world :)

Andrew Stuhl:
I disagree. I love what I do. Yet I have passions outside of "work". The catch is that "balance" is more a process than a product.

I just finished reading Escape from Cubicle Nation. Great read and great "how to" for starting your own business. http://bit.ly/ipxQ

I agree, Tim - EFCN is excellent! Inspiring + practical. That's why I was sure to include it in my Bottom-line Bookclub

Has anyone read the Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss?

Yeah - Tim's real genius is in the way he questions all assumptions we make about work. Great book to shift your perspectives on wk
