Switch Off: How to Find Calm in a Noisy World

"A practical guide to slowing down and taking control of your life in a world that conspires against both"
--Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slow

Switch off, slow down and regain control of your life

Have you ever felt as though everyone wants too much from you? Does your life feel so full there is no room to do the things you enjoy? Do you feel as though life at full throttle is consuming you?

This book shows you how slowing down can actually facilitate career success and allow you to live the life you want to live, with energy in reserve. With Switch Off, you will learn to recognise when it's time to switch off, and discover practical ways to make that happen.

This guide teaches you to:

• understand your own behaviours and triggers
• recognise when you're feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated
• build habits that help you flick the switch
• re-energise and refocus
• create an environment that supports your health.

Switch Off helps you to see that, rather than being a luxury, slowing down is a necessity.
