How to Beat Bedlam in the Boardroom and Boredom in the Bedroom
A Life Changing Guide to Happiness at Work and at Home

Author: Jane Gunn

An interesting Chat with Jane about the insights of how an overly hectic office life can end up messing up your home life. One of the big teachings I got out of this interview is that we have to listen and then have the courage and conviction to really consider what someone has said and consider their point of view.

If we all intended more intently and had open minds, the world would be a much better place to live and do business. A great book for anyone in business who wants a balance between home life and office life.
