Optimising Time, Attention and Energy (eBook, ePUB)

Being happy, healthy and productive

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Optimising Time, Attention and Energy shows us how to learn to open up new ways to become happier, healthier and more productive by exploring brain plasticity and understanding the specific roles of our left and right hemispheres.

Schools over-emphasise the development of the left hemisphere at the expense of the right. This book explains how to acknowledge the function of each hemisphere according to evolution's design.

Through managing our attention well we can reshape the right brain's role as first responder, providing a greater capacity to accept others and manage our own emotional responses. Managing our time effectively helps bring the left hemisphere back from the first responder role, allowing us to focus on the present and work efficiently without guilt about the past nor anxiety about the future.

Autorenporträt

John is an expert in helping individuals to bring their whole of mind to their daily life and increase their effectiveness and the effectiveness of those around them. This expertise scales from the individual to the team to the organisation. Developed in the context of education from the premise that education does NOT prepare us to live well in the modern world, so how DO we live well? First, shift our attention to trigger our right hemisphere. Second, focus on the wellbeing of others. John is English by birth and Australia is the ninth country he has lived and worked in. John's first degree is in Mathematics and he has an MBA from INSEAD. John has been an officer in the Parachute Regiment and a wireline logging engineer (taking measurements in drilled oil and gas wells) with Schlumberger, before entering the corporate sector via strategy consulting and corporate planning. John's professional interest evolved into change management in organisations where the employee-client relationship forms a major part of the value produced culminating in running the Australian operations of an environmental consulting organisation and then, after a takeover, becoming the CEO of an environmental technology start-up. Working in his spare time with a local school developed into a full time interest in education and Group 8 Education was formed in 2003 with a view to helping in the transformation of our education systems. The end-game for education has become much clearer and this knowledge has a much broader appeal. John is now working systematically to increase the impact of his work both within and beyond the education sector.
