‘A primer that emphasises improving relationships, rather than squeezing more productivity into work, as a way to avoid wasting time and gain that elusive extra hour in the day.’ – The Financial Times

‘… a bracing guide to reclaiming your time by confronting the emotional habits that quietly give it away’ – Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DRIVE and THE POWER OF REGRET

Are you craving extra time in your day, as well as the wisdom and self-awareness to use it joyfully and effectively?

In The 25th Hour, executive coach Neal Schore reveals how our emotional reactions eat away at our time and our energy – and shows us how to manage these responses to free up at least an hour each day. We need to address unproductive worrying, fear-based decision making, obsession over other people’s actions and behaviours – and, more than anything else, we need to get out of our own way.

This paradigm-shifting book offers a simple, practical approach to professional development, moving the focus beyond strategies for greater efficiency to what really costs us so much time and energy: our uncontrolled emotional responses.
