Today's world is one of too much: too much work to do, too much communication, too much competition, too much uncertainty and too much information. We are striving to keep up, but inevitably we're falling behind, leaving us with a nagging sense of failure that is hard to shake off.

In Busy, Tony Crabbe draws on his background in psychology and work with companies including Disney, Microsoft and News International to debunk the myth that satisfaction in the workplace comes from getting everything done.

Instead, he demonstrates that it is regaining a sense of mastery over your life, focusing on making an impact, engaging with loved ones and creating the momentum necessary to make changes that will enable you to thrive.

If you want to take control of your career - and your life - make sure you're not too busy to read this book.
