Argh! Too much information, not enough brain is a very, very practical look at the pressures of the world in which we all live, work and play in, all a driven by high expectations to succeed and to succeed well, no matter what the field.
Executive, sports person, parent, the field does not matter, the standard has been set artificially high; for that we pay the price of often feeling overwhelmed, out of our depth, facing the nadir of despair, downing in a sea of paperwork, or simply life in general.
Lynne Cazaly, keynote speaker, award winning author, board member and much more, discovered that ‘hitting the wall’ for the third time in her life, while trying to juggle a cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and a fast paced corporate life was no longer acceptable, something had to change. Her health and emotional wellbeing needed to be addressed before she could progress back to a life style she loved and enjoyed.
After much introspection and honesty, she discovered the issues were based in emotions, workload and information overload, while paramount to her lifestyle, her life had become seriously out of balance. But what to do about this and how to begin fresh with a smart new approach to how she could live her life and thrive was a question to which she needed answers.
Argh! Too much information, not enough brain is the result of this introspection and the pathway through to a life changing strategy that can be used successfully regardless of what you do or who you are.
If you are someone who always volunteers, someone who strives ever harder, works longer, sacrifices more, someone who is afraid of falling short of some sort of benchmark real or otherwise, this is the book for you, as it is built on common sense, honesty with self, as well as learning how to step aside when the going gets really tricky and regroup.
As with this style of book there are check lists, tick lists and information based learning sections which are very helpful at setting the new pathway, with very helpful techniques that can be used on the spot to analyse what is going on and what is needed at that point in time; what is important, what can wait! In other words, how not to allow yourself to become overwhelmed.
Well-presented and researched Argh! Too much information, not enough brain should be considered as a timely read. Cazaly offers a management strategy suitable for everyone, especially in the world of today when the old is being forced to give way to the largely unknown, when feeling overwhelmed is matter of course for so many.
