The Way We're Working Isn't Working
The Four Forgotten Needs That Energize Great Performance
Summary:
The book argues that the current work culture's focus on time and efficiency neglects essential human needs, leading to burnout and decreased productivity. It introduces a holistic approach to work that emphasizes the importance of fulfilling four core needs—sustainability (physical), security (emotional), self-expression (mental), and significance (spiritual)—to achieve sustained high performance and well-being.
Key points:
1. Sustainability: Keep up physical health with exercise, sleep, and breaks to maintain energy and productivity.
