{"product_id":"the-way-were-working-isnt-working","title":"The Way We're Working Isn't Working","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Be Excellent at Anything \"is one of those rare books with the power to profoundly transform the way we work and live. Demand is exceeding our capacity. The ethic of \"more  bigger  faster\" exacts a series of silent but pernicious costs at work  undermining our energy  focus  creativity  and passion. Nearly 75 percent of employees around the world feel disengaged at work every day. \"Be Excellent at Anything \"offers a groundbreaking approach to reenergizing our lives so were both more satisfied and more productive--on the job and off.  By integrating multidisciplinary findings from the science of high performance  Tony Schwartz  coauthor of the #1 bestselling \"The Power of Full Engagement  \"makes a persuasive case that were neglecting the four core needs that energize great performance: sustainability (physical); security (emotional); self-expression (mental); and significance (spiritual). Rather than running like computers at high speeds for long periods  were at our best when we pulse rhythmically between expending and regularly renewing energy across each of our four needs.  Organizations undermine sustainable high performance by forever seeking to get more out of their people. Instead they should seek systematically to meet their four core needs so theyre freed  fueled  and inspired to bring the best of themselves to work every day.  Drawing on extensive work with an extra-ordinary range of organizations  among them Google  Ford  Sony  Ernst \u0026amp; Young  Shell  IBM  the Los Angeles Police Department  and the Cleveland Clinic  Schwartz creates a road map for a new way of working. At the individual level  he explains how we can build specific rituals into our daily schedules to balance intense effort with regular renewal; offset emotionally draining experiences with practices that fuel resilience; move between a narrow focus on urgent demands and more strategic  creative thinking; and balance a short-term focus on immediate results with a values-driven commitment to serving the greater good. At the organizational level  he outlines new policies  practices  and cultural messages that Schwartzs client companies have adopted.  \"Be Excellent at Anything \"offers individuals  leaders  and organizations a highly practical  proven set of strategies to better manage the relentlessly rising demands we all face in an increasingly complex world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950020456501,"sku":"ByrdShop_1849834326","price":90.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781849834322.jpg?v=1770092765","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-way-were-working-isnt-working","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
