Grounded in real experiences and key neuroscientific insights, it is a pragmatic and thought-provoking guide to achieve what most find illusive--greater joy. " --Noelle Eder, global chief information officer, Cigna "' You can' t give what you don' t have' has become my new mantra thanks to Nataly Kogan.

" --Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, PhD, author of Rest and Shorter"This book will help you make better choices about where to invest your energy and stop ' shoulding' yourself--at work and outside of work.
