The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey

The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey

The recovered possess the key to overcoming anorexia. Although individual sufferers do not know how the affliction takes hold, piecing their stories together reveals two accidental afflictions. One is that activity disorders--dieting, exercising, healthy eating--start as virtuous practices, but become addictive obsessions. The other affliction is a developmental disorder, which also starts with the virtuous--those eager for challenge and change. But these overachievers who seek self-improvement get a distorted life instead. Knowing anorexia from inside, the recovered offer two watchwords on helping those who suffer. One is negotiate, to encourage compromise, which can aid recovery where coercion fails. The other is balance, for the ill to pursue mind-with-body activities to defuse mind-over-body battles.

Bailey, Chris: - Chris Bailey, a graduate of Carleton University in Ottawa, wrote over 216,000 words on the subject of productivity on his blog, A Year of Productivity, during a yearlong productivity project where he conducted intensive research, as well as dozens of productivity experiments on himself to discover how to become as productive as possible. To date, he has written hundreds of articles on the subject and has garnered coverage in media as diverse as the New York Times, the Huffington Post, New York magazine, TED, Fast Company, and Lifehacker.
