The Daily Reset

We get to write a new page of our lives each and every day. No matter what the day holds, we go to sleep and reset for the new one ahead. Each daily reset gives us an opportunity to improve, by small yet valuable margins. This book provides guidance, inspiration and knowledge to move your life forward. You will find 366 nudges—reflections, questions, hacks, facts, stories, studies and methods—divided into 12 key themes for your wellbeing.

Wellbeing is a journey. We might not find the right path the first time. In fact, it’s something that is always changing, evolving as we adapt to the way our life journey throws us surprises, setbacks and fortune, pleasure and pain. Such is the richness of life. Both journey and journal come from the same root, the Old French jour, or day. Every journey starts with a step, a day. If you don’t get it right today, simply reset. And go again tomorrow.

Let’s begin.

Sustaining Executive Performance

This book is for anyone who works for a living not just executives. In the new world of artificial intelligence where work and life are increasingly intertwined “executive performance” allows you to bring your human qualities to the fore for both business success and a happier life.

In this substantially revised and updated paperback version of the 2014 Financial Times hardback bestseller, you will learn that we are all executives today in the executive function thinking that will distinguish us in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and which is improved through better health and wellbeing.

Dr. Steven MacGregor brings together breakthrough insights and techniques he has honed through pioneering the internationally-renowned Sustaining Executive Performance (SEP) program, and working with thousands of leaders worldwide. In Sustaining Executive Performance, he reveals the profound connections between living a more sustainable, happy, and productive life, improving your organization on metrics ranging from innovation to resilience, and helping build a better world for all.
