Synopsis

For readers who have achieved things in life but don′t know how to enjoy them, this is a highly practical self–improvement book with a prescriptive program for how readers can live life to the fullest. Joe Robinson is one of the world s experts on the balance of work life and down time.

Robinson s new book, drawing on the latest research in positive psychology, focuses primarily on what to do outside of your work life––in your down time––to make sure you have a fully rounded life. The book includes action steps and exercises to help you create a path to a happier, more fulfilled life.
