10 SIMPLE HABITS TO PERFORM AT YOUR BEST AND LOSE THE STRESS

Are you feeling overwhelmed at work? Is the line between your professional and personal life fading away? If you want to keep achieving without the personal cost, this is the book you need.

Nick Petrie has spent two decades studying sustainable performance in demanding environments, from Fortune 500 businesses to the FBI, elite sports teams and the US Navy SEALs. He has seen countless hard-working professionals wrestle with a trade-off between career success and personal wellbeing. In a global study he led over five years, Petrie and his team discovered a small, remarkable group of individuals – the ‘thrivers’ – who cracked the code to maintaining peak performance without sacrificing their health or happiness.

Learn what the thrivers do differently and how to apply it in your own life:

• Pulse between modes of work instead of grinding in one gear

• Reduce stress by ruminating less

• Find your opposite world – the activities that genuinely recharge you

• Cross your daily Kármán line so work doesn’t follow you home

It’s time to take back control. Don’t burn out. Burn bright.

Reviews for Burn Bright: 10 Habits to Sustain High Performance in an Always-on World

‘In Burn Bright, Nick Petrie challenges the assumption that sustained achievement must come at the cost of wellbeing. Petrie presents a compelling alternative—that it is possible to achieve both excellence and wellbeing. Drawing on his years of research and experience working with leaders in demanding fields, this book is a thoughtful and valuable contribution to the conversation about leadership, performance, and wellbeing in the modern workplace’ – Kyle Jeray, President of the American Orthopedic Association ‘Nick Petrie is a globally recognized, incredible leadership facilitator, and many leaders, teams and organisations that participated in the research that inspired this book have benefited greatly from his work. I urge you to do the same so you can also burn bright while remaining healthy, effective and energized’ – John Ryan, Vice Admiral, US Navy ‘Burn Bright solves the age-old dilemma of high performance, work-life balance and burn out’ Keith Allman, Former President & CEO, Masco Corporation ‘Over many years learning from Nick Petrie, and watching his research unfold, it’s joyful to see Burn Bright lay out the formula for achieving a state of true high performance. It is an invitation to us all to stop enduring and start thriving.’ – Owen Eastwood, performance coach
