Finding Mojovation
How to create contentment in your work and personal life
About the Book
The world of work is broken. We're building teams that are optimised for productivity, without concern for the wellbeing of the people (or "resources"!) within those teams. As individuals, we can often feel like we're lost as small, insignificant parts of a much larger system. It's a path which leads to burnout, jadedness and general dissatisfaction, which can swallow some of the best members of our organisations.
We can take the power back. In Finding Mojovation, Neil Studd shows how we can influence positive changes within our workplace, helping to grow better teams while also retaining our innate sense of individuality.
By reading this book, you'll learn:
- How popular motivational theories survive analysis when held under the lens of remote working and the "new normal".
- How to empower yourself to take ownership of your personal career growth, regardless of the environment around you.
- How to shape your life to create serendipitous opportunities for happiness.
- How to ensure that success is not at the expense of your personal health and wellbeing.
