Off Balance
Getting Beyond the Work-Life Balance Myth to Personal and Professional Satisfaction
Editorial Review
This book is discussing the term: work-life balance, one of the major issues plaguing human potential in the corporate world today. The term was first introduced twenty years ago and is likely to go down as one of the great corporate blunders of our time. The future of an organization and the potential of its employees are intertwined; their destinies are linked. However, the work-life balance that has dominated the corporate landscape for almost two decades implies that work and life are separate. In this way, we set them against each other, and the thought that follows is that you’re either working too much and living too little or vice versa. The term itself diminishes our ability to make the case that work can be a richly rewarding part of a person’s life.
