With busy work schedules and the fast-paced nature of modern life, people barely have enough time for themselves. This has led to a significant rise in anxiety and stress levels among the global populace. Peggy Sullivan is a keynote speaker, trainer, and thought leader with a background of working with multiple Fortune 500 companies. It took a broken marriage, a near-fatal heart attack, and car crashes for her to realize that "busyness" defined her life. In Beyond Busyness, Peggy reveals the detrimental effects of busyness addiction on people's lives. She provides practical tools and strategies to help readers overcome busyness and discover their path to a more fulfilling and rewarding life. Prioritize your core values, foster a growth mindset, be authentic, set boundaries, and cultivate accountability and reflection.

With an increasing number of career-driven professionals becoming prone to burnout and mental exhaustion, Beyond Busyness offers a way toward a life of meaning and purpose that aligns with one's values. In this book, Peggy Sullivan introduces the Busy-Busting Process, an actionable three-step model that focuses on guiding readers toward the "sweet spot" of peak performance, wellness, and happiness. You will learn to eliminate low-value activities, activate the power of happiness, and align your values with actions to pursue the life you were always meant to have. Through personal anecdotes and real-life stories, the author demonstrates the practical applications of her framework. This is one of the most accessible, pragmatic, and motivational self-help guides I've read in recent years. If you think your life is too hectic or you're feeling overwhelmed with work, this book is for you.
