Synopsis

Most of us haven't been successful in achieving a work/life balance. It remains a Holy Grail shining in the distance, always out of reach. For those who feel they have it, it seems to have come down to overcoming the guilt they feel as they sidle out at 5 pm while everybody else is still in the office. Small wonder that elusive balance preoccupies us all more and more. But what if it isn't really a 'balancing act' at all? What if we didn't have to choose between work and life.What if we all needed to start thinking and acting in a different way, and if we did it would be possible to do a great job AND go home on time? Bestselling author Fergus O'Connell says it is possible - and in this book he shows us all how to do it.

Media Reviews

I am always delighted when I come across a book that speaks to me personally or provides me with professional insights. Fergus O'Connelll's does both, and my only complaint is that he didn't write it earlier... Its light-hearted and humorous style is boud to appeal to a mass audience... delivering a hard-hitting message in a subtle, low-key way... this is a must-read book - People Management, January 2006

Solid good advice... this book could be the catalyst you need - Student Accountant November 2006
