Win at Work and Succeed at Life provides an overview of what IS possible when you pause， prioritize and proactively take steps to achieve what they refer to as the "Double Win。" This book provides relatable， practical guidance on how to really achieve success in multiple areas of life。 I appreciated the consideration of how challenging this "double win" can be for women and the encouragement to take bold steps toward achieving balance and rhythm。 I also really connected with the simple practical Win at Work and Succeed at Life provides an overview of what IS possible when you pause， prioritize and proactively take steps to achieve what they refer to as the "Double Win。" This book provides relatable， practical guidance on how to really achieve success in multiple areas of life。 I appreciated the consideration of how challenging this "double win" can be for women and the encouragement to take bold steps toward achieving balance and rhythm。 I also really connected with the simple practical strategies， such as blocking time on my calendar， to make these things happen。 I highly recommend this book if you are feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of work and life and are ready for a new approach to achieving the things that really matter the most to you！ 。。。more

Starting with stark personal stories of the negative impact of overwork， Michael and Megan then outline the positive benefits of pursuing achievement and success in all areas of life， not just work， and finally show how to achieve this "double win"。 I appreciated the way the authors make it clear that "work/life balance" doesn't mean "work" or "life"。 By reframing that entire idea they show how it's not "either/or"， one or the other - they show that if anything， to be truly at the top of your ga Starting with stark personal stories of the negative impact of overwork， Michael and Megan then outline the positive benefits of pursuing achievement and success in all areas of life， not just work， and finally show how to achieve this "double win"。 I appreciated the way the authors make it clear that "work/life balance" doesn't mean "work" or "life"。 By reframing that entire idea they show how it's not "either/or"， one or the other - they show that if anything， to be truly at the top of your game at work， you must also be winning outside of work （and vice-versa）。 That concept has already changed how I speak with the team members I manage - making it clear to them that I don't just want to talk about "work/life balance"， I want to understand what they need to truly feel like they are winning at work while also succeeding at life。 As a business owner， I can already see how helping our entire team achieve this double win will not only make our employees lives better， it will also help us have a more engaged， productive workforce。 。。。more

I'm no stranger to the vortex of overwork， careening between the two poles Michael and Megan identify in this book: the Hustle Fallacy （just work harder） and the Ambition Brake （you can't have it all， so you'll have to kill your professional aspirations in order to have a good life）。 They write from experience and from the heart， giving us all a path to find clarity around what matters most and a practical， doable， accessible way to actually achieve it。 Highly recommended。 I'm no stranger to the vortex of overwork， careening between the two poles Michael and Megan identify in this book: the Hustle Fallacy （just work harder） and the Ambition Brake （you can't have it all， so you'll have to kill your professional aspirations in order to have a good life）。 They write from experience and from the heart， giving us all a path to find clarity around what matters most and a practical， doable， accessible way to actually achieve it。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller have become some of my most trusted leadership and productivity resources in the past two years。 Their latest book， Win at Work and Succeed at Life， is perhaps their best yet。 The book lays out several broad principles for achieving what they call the “double win，” which is winning at work and home。 Rejecting the false dichotomy of the hustle fallacy （work 100 hours a week and neglect your family to get ahead） and the ambition brake （put your career and goals Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller have become some of my most trusted leadership and productivity resources in the past two years。 Their latest book， Win at Work and Succeed at Life， is perhaps their best yet。 The book lays out several broad principles for achieving what they call the “double win，” which is winning at work and home。 Rejecting the false dichotomy of the hustle fallacy （work 100 hours a week and neglect your family to get ahead） and the ambition brake （put your career and goals on hold in order to best serve your family）， Michael and Megan remind us of important principles like setting constraints on your work time instead of allowing to consume our evenings and weekends， getting adequate sleep， and giving equal attention to all domains of our life， even if we are not giving equal time。 I really enjoyed reading about the Stanford study that found working overtime didn’t really help people’s careers。 Once you hit about 40 hours， the payoff for additional hours really decreases。This book is great for people who are working full-time and trying to balance family life or people who wish to advance their career without sacrificing their family。 I’m grateful for authors who realize the importance of these two important areas。 。。。more

It always strikes me as odd when people brag about how overworked and busy they are at work and at home。 It is almost like their accomplishments don't count as much as being able to talk about their stress level。 The same applies to those who complain about how many hours they work and how little sleep they get。 They don't want to fix it。 Instead， they brag about it。"Win at Work and Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself from the Cult of Overwork" is just the opposite。 It is a manual tha It always strikes me as odd when people brag about how overworked and busy they are at work and at home。 It is almost like their accomplishments don't count as much as being able to talk about their stress level。 The same applies to those who complain about how many hours they work and how little sleep they get。 They don't want to fix it。 Instead， they brag about it。"Win at Work and Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself from the Cult of Overwork" is just the opposite。 It is a manual that prescribes a work-life balance。 Leadership author and consultant Michael Hyatt and his daughter， Megan Hyatt Miller， who runs her father's company share personal stories and advice that show how you don't have to choose between professional successes and being present for your family to enjoy a personal life。They call their ideal work-life balance the "double win。" Both Hyatts share personal stories where they faced challenges maintaining the double win。 Michael admits that early in his career， professional success came at a cost to his relationship with his wife and children。 Megan shares the challenges of being a parent of five children while working as CEO of a successful company。 The book details these fundamental principles:-tWork is only one of many ways to orient your life。-tConstraints foster productivity， creativity， and freedom。-tWork-life balance is truly possible。-tThere's incredible power in nonachievement-tRest is the foundation of meaningful， productive work。"Win at Work and Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself from the Cult of Overwork" is full of practical advice for those who struggle with this balance and a good reminder for the rest of us。 。。。more

Through heartfelt stories and key insights， Michael and Megan share how you can actually win at work and succeed at life。 You can get things done at work while maintaining good health， solid relationships， and positive well being—right now。 How？ By recognizing that constraints actually foster productivity （so leave the office on time）， by realizing the power of letting your mind wander （that's often when I get my best ideas）， and by getting enough sleep （I do better when I'm well rested）。 The Hy Through heartfelt stories and key insights， Michael and Megan share how you can actually win at work and succeed at life。 You can get things done at work while maintaining good health， solid relationships， and positive well being—right now。 How？ By recognizing that constraints actually foster productivity （so leave the office on time）， by realizing the power of letting your mind wander （that's often when I get my best ideas）， and by getting enough sleep （I do better when I'm well rested）。 The Hyatts note， "When work becomes the primary orientation for life， the rest of life gets left behind。" I really relate with this。 I'm moving from meaningful working being my orientation for life toward having a meaningful life with multiple orientations—work， family， exercise， church， hobbies， and more。 Really helpful stuff。 。。。more
