5 stars
Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All of the opinions are my own and this did not affect my review in any way.
As a medical student, stress and feeling unproductive are major components of my day to day life. So when the opportunity to read and review this book came along, I knew I had to give it a go in the hopes of finding tips and techniques to reduce my stress. Even though I was already familiar with some of the techniques this book presents, I was still blown away by how much this book helped me.
Working Well: Twelve Simple Strategies to Manage Stress and Increase Productivity is a comprehensive guide to reducing stress in every aspect of our lives primarily the workplace.
Like I said I was blown away by this book, although some of the techniques in this book are not new or mind blowing the research presented by the author does not only give this book more credibility but it allows you to understand our need to manage our stress. This book provides with strategies to help you remain calm in every situation, scientific methods to improve your productivity and tools to help us build a foundation for a calm and happy life. The 12 steps are easy, they are things we all know, however, the author puts these concepts in a clear and relatable way that makes it so much more manageable for us to digest.
What I love most about this book was that it all comes down to self-care. All these strategies, methods and tools are based on the idea of taking care of ourselves, of being the best version of ourselves in order to prosper and for me that was really important. Moreover, I appreciated that even though this book is fast to read and goes straight to the point, the author provide us with extra resources in case we want to know more about a specific tool.
Overall I am very happy I gave this book a chance, it turned out to be an excellent resource and just what I needed at the time. This book is perfect for everyone who is looking to reduce their stress and find tools and techniques to have a more balanced and happy life.
