"Kraemer's message of values-based leadership resonates as much in the U.S. as it does in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. It applies equally to people in all fields: technology, healthcare, financial services, retail, academics, etc. But there are challenges. In response to Kramer's previous books, readers say "This sounds great, but I have so many things going on. How I can do this?" Living a Values-Based Life answers this question, making it the perfect follow up to Kraemer's previous books. Most people have an idea of what they want to do with their life. The challenge, however, is that certain aspects or components of our lives can overshadow the rest. There's cognitive dissonance, and a chronic imbalance--that feeling of being constantly short of time and attention, always rushing to get things done, and ending each day exhausted and overwhelmed. The only way to lead a values-based life is by becoming more self-aware of how and where we spend our time. The goal of this book is to help readers develop their own values-based life, first through self-reflection, and then by building new habits. Living a Values-Based Life is a guide that includes advice, insight and tools, such as Kraemer's "life grid" to enable readers to track and reflect on how they spend the 168 hours they have each week. This book will enable readers to live a life with more purpose, meaning, engagement, satisfaction, and fun"-- Provided by publisher Put your values first and devote the time to focus on what matters most Despite our good intentions, many of us experience a chronic imbalance between the desire to live our values and the distractions and never-ending to-do lists that can get in the way.
