#044 - The Benefits of Doing Nothing (Susan Pearse)

Writer, speaker and leadership consultant Susan Pearse joins me to discuss the benefits of doing nothing. In today’s episode we discuss why doing nothing matters, some of the reason people find it difficult to let go and relax, we answers questions such as when does productivity spillover into busyness, how to know the difference between relaxing and wasting time, and how relaxation can actually help, rather than hinder, your ambitions. We also offer a few tips from Susan's book "Do Less Be More" on how to master the art of doing nothing including how to go on a date with yourself, having a not-to-do list, and the beauty of boredom. *** BOOKS MENTIONED *** "Do Less Be More" by Susan Pearse and Martina Sheehan: http://amzn.to/2rRvoIr "One Moment Please" by Susan Pearse and Martina Sheehan: http://amzn.to/2nlog1h "Wired for Life" by Susan Pearse and Martina Sheehan: http://amzn.to/2GnecgO "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley: http://amzn.to/2Ee31Jm "The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga" by Carl Jung: http://amzn.to/2FDPckr *** SHOW NOTES *** http://myownworstenemy.org/podcast *** SOCIAL MEDIA *** Facebook: http://facebook.com/myownworstenemyorg Twitter: http://twitter.com/dannydwhittaker *** CREDITS *** Theme Music: Falling Down by Ryan Little http://youtube.com/user/TheR4C2010 Podcast Image: Jon Collier https://flic.kr/p/7rPkj3 DISCLAIMER: My Own Worst Enemy is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk and affiliated sites.
