Work better not longer– learn how to be more productive by switching off from work in the evenings, worrying less and facing the new working day fresh, full of energy and ambition. Work is a big part of our lives, but it's easier than ever to let it take over. Laptops, tablets, and smartphones that are supposed to free us from the office actually bind us to it.

Learning to flick THE OFF-SWITCH when you leave work is essential– not only for your sanity but also for your job. If you can learn to relax and rest effectively when you’re not at work, you can then get more done when you’re in the office. It’s a win-win solution! In this unique book, Professor Mark Cropley, a world expert in how we recover from the working day, blends engaging real-life case studies, clinical expertise, and evidence-based techniques to provide a complete guide for how to switch off better – get more enjoyment from your free time, and still get more done.
