How to Stop Work Taking Over and Start Living More Intentionally
Are you successful on paper but quietly running on empty?
Perhaps your career is going well. Perhaps you're busy, productive, and constantly in demand. Yet somewhere along the way, life has become dominated by work. The books you meant to read, the hobbies you once loved, the friends you promised to see, the things that made you feel most like yourself have gradually been pushed aside.
You keep telling yourself things will settle down soon.
But they never do.
In The Three Piece Life, leadership coach, advisor, and former corporate executive Tim Johns offers a practical and refreshing alternative to the modern culture of overwork.
Drawing on his own experience of burnout, years of coaching senior leaders, and insights from psychology, business, and everyday life, Tim introduces a simple but powerful framework built around three essential pillars:
• Paid Work – the work that provides income, challenge, and purpose
• Unpaid Work – the contribution, service, mentoring, and giving back that enriches both ourselves and others
• Simple Pleasures – the hobbies, relationships, interests, health, and moments of joy that make life worth living
This is not a book about escaping work.
It is a book about preventing work from becoming your entire life.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
• Recognise the warning signs of burnout before it is too late
• Understand why so many successful people feel trapped by work
• Make better decisions about your time, energy, and priorities
• Reconnect with the activities and people that matter most
• Build greater balance, resilience, and fulfilment without sacrificing ambition
• Create your own personalised Three Piece Life plan
Warm, practical, and thought-provoking, The Three Piece Life offers a different definition of success: one that includes achievement, contribution, and enjoyment in equal measure.
Because you only get one go at this.
Make it count.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
