A book for everyone who has ever been told to slow down.
Do you ever feel stressed? Of course you do. When you’re busy, do you struggle with decisions? Everyone does. One way we cope with all sorts of stress – constant emails, texts, voice messages,people at work and at home pulling us in all directions, needing our attention – is to slow down and lower our expectations. But when we lower expectations to ease stress, we also miss out on what might make us stronger later on.
#NOW offers valuable insights into an alternative solution.
Renowned strategist Dr Max McKeown is pioneering the concept of being Nowist: choosing actions that help both immediately and in the future – how to move from decision to action, how to keep moving forward without being bogged down by fear of failure, expectations, what-ifs, or yet another email. How to understand that it’s efficient, not lazy, to skip unnecessary effort. We can be more effective and happier when thinking on our feet. This book explains how to live better in the #NOW.
You can read this on your commute; you can apply it to your work life, relationships, social life and long-term plans. You’ll instantly have more energy to achieve more.
We can all be a little more Nowist. We can enjoy the flexibility of everyday life and enjoy moving forward, no matter how many obstacles seem in the way. Instead of becoming overwhelmed, the Nowist approach allows us to proactively leap into better, faster decisions, giving us more time to enjoy living. #NOW teaches us how spontaneity can be a better influence on work and happiness than endless worrying about past and future.
Discover how impulsivity is a helpful tool and how impatience can be a virtue. Learn to coach and harness the power of a #nowist strategy.
