Chris Barez-Brown, author of SHINE, brings us a new book which inspires you to set your own rules at work, and make your job work for you. 
 
'Life and work are intrinsically linked. They are not separate; they are one.

Chris Baréz Brown - bestselling author, speaker and business beatnik - has a rather unusual view of the world: he knows that everybody is perfect. As we grow, develop and socialize we can lose touch with that brilliance and often become somebody we're not. Chris founded his company, Upping Your Elvis, in 2009 to help people reconnect with their inner genius and become confident in being who they truly are. Described as a 'long-haired twinkly-eyed cross between Richard Branson and a wizard' (Guardian), Chris is also the author of the bestselling book Free: Love Your Work, Love Your Life. In 2016 he became a columnist for Psychologies magazine and launched his latest mission: The Great Wake Up!

Let Chris Baréz-Brown be your ideas guru

Ken Blanchard, author of The One-Minute Manager

We all have good days and bad days at work. 
 
Some days you feel bullet proof. People listen to you, your meetings run like clockwork, and you keep having new ideas. 
 
Other days are like wading through quick sand. You can't get anything done, and when the printer runs out of toner (again) you want to quit. 
 
Wouldn't it be great if you were always on top of your game? If you jumped out of bed every morning knowing that you can only win? 
 
SHINE will show you how.

Escaping a Life on Autopilot

Over 80 per cent of our waking time is spent on autopilot. 
 
We all know the feeling of driving a long distance and arriving at our destination with little memory of the journey. That's because when we are doing routine activities our subconscious takes over to save energy: we are on autopilot. 
 
This doesn't just happen when we drive. It happens every day when we are at work, with our loved ones, or simply living our lives. Wake Up! is a series of experiments designed to help you break free from this trap. From climbing a tree to writing a letter, here are a year's worth of balanced, playful experiences that will engage your imagination and stimulate your senses. 
 
By escaping autopilot more often you'll feel tuned in, tap in to who you really are, and make every day count.
