Description

First published in 1977, this extraordinarily prescient book sets out de
Bono's method for achieving the ultimate 21st century goal: work-life
balance. Defined in terms of life-space and self-space, de Bono invites the
reader to look at their life and measure the gap between these spaces--the
smaller the gap, the greater our chances at happiness; but if the life-
space is vastly bigger than the self-space, our coping ability is
compromised and anxiety is likely. For anyone concerned with happiness and
life-fulfilment this book is essential reading, and is perhaps more
resonant with readers now than ever before.
