Busy is not an inevitable consequence of modern life. It's a choice and a stupid strategy.

Why are we so busy, and what can we do about it in our work lives?

I'm a business psychologist who has worked with multinationals across the world with thousands of people who are struggling with too much information, demand, and expectation. I am also a fellow sufferer of busyness.

This book stemmed from a desire to deal with my own overwhelm, and my sense that I was failing to be the parent, husband, and friend I wanted to be.

Busy is an experience, a success strategy, and an approach to happiness. This book will explain how to master your busyness; succeed through impact, not mindless activity; and engage again with work, love, and life.
