Chris Bailey Bücher

Immer mehr Menschen fühlen sich überfordert von immer mehr To-Do’s und immer weniger Zeit. In der Konsequenz fehlt es oft an der nötigen Konzentration, um Aufgaben zufriedenstellend und effizient zu einem Ende zu bringen. Es gelingt einfach immer seltener, sich zu 100 Prozent einer einzigen Sache zu widmen. In Hyperfocus liefert Chris Bailey einen praktischen Weg, um die Aufmerksamkeit gezielt bündeln und Ablenkungen widerstehen zu können. Hierzu verbindet er neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse mit praktischen Anwendungen und zeigt, wie man Prioritäten setzt und sich eine Umgebung schafft, in der produktiv gearbeitet werden kann. Hyperfocus ist eine faszinierende und neuartige Methodik, um sich auf den Punkt konzentrieren zu können – und mehr Aufgaben in kürzerer Zeit zu erledigen.

Ruhe bewahren in stressigen Zeiten Überstunden, Stress und mediale Dauerberieselung gehören im Berufsalltag schon fast zum guten Ton. Doch mehr zu arbeiten, bedeutet nicht, mehr zu leisten – im Gegenteil: Viele sind überfordert von nicht enden wollenden To-do-Listen oder fühlen sich zunehmend ausgebrannt und rastlos. Der Produktivitätsexperte Chris Bailey weiß aus der eigenen Erfahrung eines Burnouts: Das Geheimnis eines produktiven Lebens besteht darin, in ausreichend Ruhe zu investieren. Er zeigt, was wir tun können, um versteckte Stressquellen in unserem Alltag zu beseitigen, wie man sich durch »Stimulationsfasten« vom Dauerbeschuss der digitalen Welt erholt, und erklärt, wie man lernt, ohne Schuldgefühle zu entspannen. Es geht schließlich darum, zur Ruhe zu kommen, um nicht nur konzentrierter und überlegter zu arbeiten, sondern auch zufriedener und glücklicher durchs Leben zu gehen.
