When was the last time you felt calm, happy,
creative, and super-productive at work?
If you had trouble remembering, you’re not alone. As workplace trends shift towards unpredictable changes, hypercompetition, outsourcing, downsizing, long hours, and technological overload, employees and managers in organizations everywhere are feeling more and more vulnerable and stressed on the job. In this climate, it’s no wonder that only half of American workers report being satisfied with their jobs and 62% say that work has a significant impact on their stress levels, according to recent surveys by the American Psychological Association and the Conference Board.
Is there a solution? In Take Charge of Your Mind: Core Skills to Enhance Your Performance, Well-Being, and Integrity at Work, authors Paul Hannam and John Selby offer just that, starting from one simple yet incredibly transformative principle: Stop wishing for changes from your boss, your coworkers, the economy, or your workload, and start focusing on the one thing you can control—your own mind.
Many books tout “the power of the mind,” but Take Charge of Your Mind takes a unique approach, delivering a practical, step-by-step, no-nonsense program especially designed for today’s businessperson. Opening with a dynamic “Wake Up” process designed to get you in the zone, Take Charge of Your Mind then unleashes the seven-step Take Charge process, enabling you to practice and develop the core skills needed to build confidence, unlock creativity, and bring heart back to your work. In only minutes a day, this “full-mind workout” shifts you out of negative states of mind and activates your full awareness and potential. The Take Charge method teaches you how to stay in the present moment, which leads to greatly improved productivity, better problem-solving, deeper creativity, and easier access to your own visionary wisdom for powerfully effective leadership.
Paul Hannam is a research fellow at Oxford University and the founder of a top training consultancy and Internet technology company. Psychologist and cognitive-science researcher, entrepreneur and international speaker John Selby is the author of 20 books, including Seven Masters, One Path and Quiet Your Mind, with sales totaling more than half a million copies. As consultants, Hannam and Selby have already implemented the Take Charge method in several top organizations, and the approach is drawing raves. Listen to Oliver Barth, CEO of Satoris: “Using the Take Charge process at work, my people feel less tense and stressed and more creative and friendly—and there is much more power in the company. We’re sincerely thankful.”
Take Charge of Your Mind offers a simple, effective, and immediate method for becoming happier, healthier, and more productive during your workdays—more than half your waking hours. Let pros Hannam and Selby help you take charge of your own success!
