The illusion of control
Why managing everyone else's business costs you more than the work itself, and how to sort what is yours from what never was.

New release · The Art of Living Well Series
Hard-Won Rules for Protecting Your Energy, Letting Go of Control, and Living Well
You are tired because you are carrying too much. Not too much work, but too much responsibility for things that were never yours to manage. In Let It Burn: Hard-Won Rules for Protecting Your Energy, Letting Go of Control, and Living Well, Christopher Schroeder provides a rigorous, no-nonsense manual for reclaiming your peace. Living well isn't about adding another optimization hack or morning routine to your schedule. This book will teach you the Art of Non-Engagement, helping you master the exact moment when your involvement stops helping and starts hurting.
One-time payment. PDF ebook, downloadable immediately after purchase, with a copy of the link sent by email.
