Kashdan, Professor of Psychology, Director of the Well- Being Laboratory at George Mason University, and author of The Art of Insubordination: How to Dissent and Defy Effectively *

Boyes challenges the unhealthy-and simply false-notion that there’s a necessary trade-off between productivity and mental well-being. On the contrary, she shows us how to use evidence-based tools to get things done without overworking, pulling our hair out and wearing ourselves down. I’ve already used several of these tips in my own life and plan to return to them again and again. * Amy Gallo, workplace expert, cohost of HBR’s Women at Work podcast, and author of the HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict *

You’ll learn how to be productive in a self-compassionate, creative way that incorporates the best elements of you. * Emma Seppälä, Science Director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education *
