The Wealthy Body In Business: Earn More Money By Being In Better Shape
by Tim Bean Anne LaingThe business world is getting tougher rather than easier, faster rather than slower, and more stressful rather than less. The city is uploading more pressure, and companies are downsizing their key talent. Yet none of us is getting any younger. Instead of becoming stronger, leaner, fitter, faster, more energised and more engaged, we're mostly getting, slower, sicker, fatter and weaker. At senior levels the gap between expectations to lead and perform, and the ability and capacity to do so is ever widening. Something has to give, and it is. People in business are crumbling under the load, fading under the pressure, and dying under their desks. The cost to business, to family and to society is massive and incalculable.The Wealthy Body in Business is a behind-the-scenes insight – an insider's guide to the most successful strategies, tips and best practices that we have used successfully with our private clients at the top levels of business over the years. We work with executives, directors, leaders and luminaries – all high profile, high-flying men and women – entrepreneurs operating at the hard edge of business, where the pressures are enormous, the stakes are highest - and the cost of failure is inconceivable.In applying these simple but robust remedies, you will find yourself becoming leaner, stronger, smarter, sharper, more confident, more agile, and a whole lot less stressed than you've ever been.Start making better decisions, becoming better leaders, and exponentially extend your influence and earning capacity. Become happier, healthier and more successful. Love the way you feel about life and about business. Your families will love it, your employees will enjoy it, and your doctor will thank you for it.Aimed squarely at high-performing individuals, the message from this book is clear: People who are in better shape age better with more energy, are sleeping better, less stressed, thinking smarter, feeling healthier, working better, always being on top of their game, and will always be more successful in business, and in life.
The Business of Sleep: How Sleeping Better Can Transform Your Career
by Vicki CulpinWhile a number of world leaders may have claimed to be able to make do with five hours of sleep per night, for many people that little amount of sleep can – even in the short term – have serious and damaging side-effects. Major disasters have occurred as a result of poor sleep, from the destruction of the Challenger space shuttle to nuclear meltdowns such as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, but more prevalent effects can include health disorders, the rise of depression and poor memory retention. For businesses and their employees, the impact can be incredibly detrimental – from the negative impact on decision-making and communication skills, to the stifling of creativity and innovation. The Business of Sleep delivers a serious business message: a lack of sleep will have an effect on your work and career. But the good news is that there are positive steps that can be taken. Drawing on both seminal and cutting-edge research, alongside interviews with notable CEOs and business influencers, sleep specialist Vicki Culpin offers an accessible guide to how sleep works, the consequences of poor sleep and the practical ways of mitigating against, and reducing the impact of, compromised sleep in organisational environments.
