Downshifting: How to Work Less and Enjoy Life More by John D Drake
Today's organizations put extraordinary pressure on their employees to work harder and longer. This book shows readers how to resist this pressure and actually spend less time in the office. John Drake, who successfully downshifted his own work life, examines the frantic pace of today's business environment, helps readers overcome the fear of working less, and shows them how to make the change. He uses real-life examples to provide practical strategies for freeing up personal time and for using that time to create a happier, more satisfying life.John Drake worked as an anchorman for PharmaVision, a live-TV broadcast program operated by ICI Pharmaceuticals, before leaving to write full-time in 1999. He trained as a biochemist before deciding he wasn't very good at science. Muzzle-loading shooting, history, and politics are among his hobbies and interests. The numerous unsolved issues in Robert Louis Stevenson's beloved classic, Treasure Island, inspired Flint and Silver.
