Working more doesn't mean working better.
Productivity dramatically decreases with longer hours and drops off completely at 55 hours per week.
On average, someone working 70 hours a week achieves no more than a colleague working 15 fewer hours.

Humanistic psychotherapist Carl Rogers noted a common theme among his patients was the question, “Who am I, really?" But this is the wrong question. We each contain multitudes. Instead, ask: "Which potentiality within me do I most wish to develop and actualize in this world?"
@toddkashdan@sbkaufman@positiveacorn But maybe some self help fluff (part of our dark side?) gets people out of a short term rut. I read articles from Entrepreneur and Inc for an in the moment pick me up. It’s mostly empty headed advice. Great books are out there for real growth. You both have written a few of them!
@toddkashdan@sbkaufman@positiveacorn That was one of my favorite books. It really gave me permission to worry less about how I come across when giving my team performance feedback. I think some people read “go for it” fluff for that. They don’t learn anything about themselves like I did from your book...
